SYS PASSWORD reset in 12c with old password prompt

lm422407shJul 21 2017 — edited Jul 21 2017

I want to reset the SYS account in Oracle12c.

We are not allowed to do so using alter user syntax and we have to go with SQL> password sys  as password should not be visible when you type.

We dont want to have dependency of carrying the old password.  Is there anyway we can change the password without the prompt of old password like in previous version.

SQL> password sys

Changing password for sys

Old password:

New password:

Please suggest.
