When changing a password in the HPD User Manager or Oracle, the existing password is validated. As a result:

Any user can change their own password and the password of any other user, as long as they know the existing password. The HPD dialog requires that they enter both the existing password and the new password.

The HPD Oracle schema owner can also change the password of any HPD user, as long as they know the existing password.
