The password may not be a problem here. In 9i, sys must connect 'as sysdba' or 'as sysoper'.
So, use 'sys as sysdba' when prompted for username (without the single quotes). If you want to use a parfile, then specify userid='sys/password as sysdba'. Those single quotes are needed and notice where 'as sysdba' goes :) HTH, - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 7:43 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L It would appear you don't know the pw of sys, or maybe the capslock is on ;) If you can sqlplus /nolog can connect and alter the sys pw.
