Are there any Oracle passwords we should *not* change?

Question

We're planning to change oracle passwords, using util y/8/1. Are there any oracle accounts we should *not* change?

Answer

You can change any Oracle passwords -- as long as you do it using util y/8.

The only exception *might* be aleph_dba, since util y/8 prompts you to log on as ALEPH_DBA in its second step (where it updates the Oracle password).
