  Hi Friends,
  
  Need to provide 'Forgot Password ?' functionality at the login page.
  
  If user selects this option then a password reset will be done by the system and a new password will be mailed to the e-mail address held against the users account in a Oracle table.
  
  My query is how to generate a new password when we click
  'Forgot Password' ?
  
  Can someone tell me asto how to generate a new password using Oracle's features ?
  
  Thank You,
  
  Friend

  the simplest way would be to generate a random number between one and 10,000, then encrypt that so you get some random string like 4598dfghui3498f, then select say the first 8 characters of that.
