Setting a password Both the database Administrator and the individual database user can set a password for the user. The theory for this is that the individual can pick a password that has some meaning to him — and so, hopefully, he doesn’t forget it. If a user does forget his password, however, the Administrator can reset it; you can see how to do that in Chapter 15. If you have access to a database and are afraid that some nasty person might use your name to gain access illegally, I recommend assigning a password to yourself, which is ridiculously easy.
