How to get rid of ORA-28002 message the password will expire within 6 days?
The password has been marked as 'EXPIRED' or marked with an 'EXPIRY_DATE' in dba_users. You will have to change it. You can set it back to the same password. The easy way would be setting the password "by values". This usually bypasses history checking.

Please find the below three queries and run these queries from system database.
// For seeing full user details
SELECT profile FROM dba_users WHERE username = 'SYSTEM';
// This query is used to change the password life time to unlimited
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;
// This query is used to change the default password.
alter user SYSTEM identified by "system";
A coworker using Toad saw the account indicated as looked in the Schema Browsers under Users.
We succeeded by right clicking unlock user. In the Alter user dialog we reentered the old password and unchecked the Password is locked checkbox.
