Oracle and mysql use two different password encryption algorithms.
Are you talking about the password to connect to the database, or a password for user authentication?
How did you store the password in the database? Plain text, MD5, homegrown hash?
Could you post the relevant code? not the whole file , just the call to teh databse (minus your user&oass for the DB)

It is bad idea to setup conection to DB in JSP. It is all fashioned and left only for back compability from dark age of Java Web Development. You better of using servlets to handle connection and changes to DB
