The default password is 'PUB' and in case you change it, the password should be always in Upper Case. 
It is a public schema. which helps in validating Application user credentials when we login to Oracle Application.


Significance of Applsyspub user

When we login to applications,initially oracle applications connect to public schema, APPLSYSPUB. This schema has sufficient privileges to perform the authentication of an Applications User (FND user), which includes running PL/SQL packages to verify the username/password combination and the privilege to record the success or failure of a login attempt.
Once authentication is successfully completed, Oracle Application allows to connect to apps schema and allows to choose a responsibility. By using responsibility, we can use HTML or Oracle forms interface to access data that resides in product schema.
