at first, i thought you were talking about the movie "unbreakable," as i always thought that it would have a sequel....
anyway, as far as oracle and DB stuff goes in general, any DBA paying attention should be on top of the admin access. It's the end-users with authenticated, yet minimal access to the Database that have to be worried about. Simple passes like "user," "password" or the big four "love sex secret God" as well as kids birthdays and stuff (even initials and birthdays are easy to guess) need to be changed.
one thing most people tend to forget. if you give someone your password, even temporarily, that isn't the admin, make sure you change it afterward. too may passwords are easy to remember, and they may be 'tempted to use yours later on.
