Hi Eddy ,
I assume you use db server v 8.X and NT ,
The steps to recover Internal lost password ,
First , try to find password file named PWD<SID-name>.ora for example PWDORCL.ora in
your %ORAHOME%\database directory
Make sure that you enable to show all files from your Explorer ==> View ==> Option
second , just delete the PWD<SID-name>.ora
if you worry about it , just move it from its original location.
third , go to command prompt or DOS prompt.
or you can call the application called ORAPWD80
just type
C:\ orapwd80 file=d:\orant\database\PWD<SID-name>.ora password=this_is_my_new_password
entries = integer
for example :
C:\ orapwd80 file=d:\orant\database\PWDORCL.ora password=isawherstandingthere entries
= 5
Ok , just remember your new password : )

Internal is NOT a user, it is the SYS user opened in a special mode. To connect as
internal you must have set the Oracle password file to the SYS password and be logged
onto the server as the Oracle administrative user. On a Unix system this is normally
the "oracle" user with belongs to the "dba" group.

You say that you can change the internal password by connecting as SYS.
Connecting
from where as SYS? SysMgr. After I connect do I just issues the alter user
command to
change the internal password.
Thanks
