Change Oracle User Password Expiration Date

Question

I have a user password expiration date,

Select Expiry_date from USER_USERS;

I want to send a warning message when the password expires.

My password is not expiring anytime soon. I want to change the expiration date to the previous date so that I can verify my code.

My user account password must expire. that is, I want to get ORA-28002ERROR.

I tried to use alter user XYZ password expire;

This sets my user state ACCOUNT_STATUSto EXPIRED, but I want it to be in state EXPIRED(GRACE).

Please suggest any possible method.

CREATE PROFILE SHORT_LIFE_PROFILE LIMIT
    PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME 1/24/60/60 --> = 1 second
    PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME 1/24; --> = 1 hour

ALTER USER rdj7 PROFILE SHORT_LIFE_PROFILE;

ACCOUNT_STATUS = EXPIRED(GRACE), , .
