user does not exist

user521233May 9 2017 — edited May 10 2017

I am looking at a new system and cannot login as a particular user. the ALL_USERS data dictionary shows the user but when I attempt to alter the users password then I get ORA-01918 user does not exist.

this database was recently moved to its present location.

any insight most appreciated.

given some comments I can provide the following:

SQL> select username,account_status  from dba_users where username='GL_FORECAST';

USERNAME                       ACCOUNT_STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------------
GL_FORECAST                    OPEN

SQL> alter user GL_FORCAST identified by flatpass;
alter user GL_FORCAST identified by flatpass
           *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01918: user 'GL_FORCAST' does not exist

SQL> alter user "GL_FORCAST" identified by flatpass;
alter user "GL_FORCAST" identified by flatpass
           *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01918: user 'GL_FORCAST' does not exist
