  • SYSTEM and SYS password 11g on Windows Vista

    Hello
    I am having trouble. I do not know my SYSTEM and SYS passwords. I am using oracle 11g on windows vista. I tried to change the passwords but that did not work. I tried this:
    c:/>sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    c:/>show user
    c:/>passw system
    then I changed the password. When I tried to log in the password change did not take effect. Any help would be great!

    Hi,
    There is no default password for sys and system in 11g.
    you cna use the below command to change the system or sys password
    alter user SYSTEM identified by PASWORD
    same for sys
    nOTE: password are case sensitive.Regards,
    Taj

  • HOW TO RESET SYS PASSWORD after rename of db

    Thanks for taking my quesiton!
    I renamed my database. Everything is working fine except I can not change sys password. If I try I get: ORA-28003 : password verified for the specified password failed.
    I can change system's password. I can log on just fine as SYSI think my pwdsid.ora password file may be the problem.
    Has anyone every had this happen?
    Thanks, Kathie

    Hello Kathie,
    http://ora-28003.ora-code.com/
    Have you set some specific password rules? Is the function VERIFY_FUNCTION available for all and is it valid?
    Did you try to change the password for user sys with user sys?
    Try it with some different user which have the rights for that... (for example sys) only for testing...
    @Anantha:
    You are right... but please have a look at here ( Fun with password verification):

    Do you have any connections settings in sql developer.

    Your home network must have a wireless router somewhere in the house. All of your wireless devices use the same router password to connect to the network. That's where the password is stored and used. Log into your wireless network router and look under the wireless menu section. You should find your password there. If you have other wireless devices connected to your network maybe one of those will display the password. If your router is also password protected and you can't remember that either then your only solution is to reset the router to factory defaults and start over to rebuild your network. With security becoming more and more important these days most passwords are encrypted and not displayed in the open on any devices, including routers. It's extremely important that you remember or have the password written down somewhere and locked away for just such an occasion. Good luck.

  • I need help setting up an apple id for my sons phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    Two different things
    If you forgot the password
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
    The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

  • HT1414 i cant reset my ipad as it says i neeed my password typed in when conecting to itunes and i cant remember the password thats why i am atempting to restore my ipad any help guys???

    i cant restore my ipad because i cant remember my password thats why im trying to restore it any ideas how to get round this

    You will need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these instructions.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Sys password problem "INSUFFICIENT PRIVELEGES"

    hi,
    This is with refernece to my earlier post, i can now login as a DBA thry OS authentication.
    Re: sys password problem
    but now i try to vreate a new password file and it successfully created using orapwd....
    but when i try to login as a sys user thru oracle authentication i couldn't because i am getting an error
    "INSUFFICIENT PRIVELEGES"
    and another thing i would like to know do i have to shutdown the database or not for the same.

    Please review the document link sent earlier
    Setting REMOTE_LOGIN_ PASSWORDFILE
    In addition to creating the password file, you must also set the initialization parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to the appropriate value. The values recognized are:
    NONE: Setting this parameter to NONE causes Oracle Database to behave as if the password file does not exist. That is, no privileged connections are allowed over nonsecure connections.
    EXCLUSIVE: (The default) An EXCLUSIVE password file can be used with only one instance of one database. Only an EXCLUSIVE file can be modified. Using an EXCLUSIVE password file enables you to add, modify, and delete users. It also enables you to change the SYS password with the ALTER USER command.
    SHARED: A SHARED password file can be used by multiple databases running on the same server, or multiple instances of a Real Application Clusters (RAC) database. A SHARED password file cannot be modified. This means that you cannot add users to a SHARED password file. Any attempt to do so or to change the password of SYS or other users with the SYSDBA or SYSOPER privileges generates an error. All users needing SYSDBA or SYSOPER system privileges must be added to the password file when REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to EXCLUSIVE. After all users are added, you can change REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to SHARED, and then share the file.
    This option is useful if you are administering multiple databases or a RAC database.
    If REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to EXCLUSIVE or SHARED and the password file is missing, this is equivalent to setting REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to NONE.

    Hi,
    I guess even if you connect with "nolog" still you will receieve the same error.
    Please confirm these things,
    1)Are you are running all teh commands on the server itself.
    2)What is the value of the parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES in the sqlnet.ora.This parameter value in the case of windows should be set to NTS.Check what's teh value?
    3)Confirm that the user (o/s user) through which you have logged in the system,it is a part of ora_dba group in your system.
    Confirm and let us know the outputs.
    Aman....
    PS:This error is reported couple of times.Try searching this forum for the same error also.

  • Cant import my password file in my laptop (*.xml).

    I have one computer with all password (x64). And now i want to get it into my laptop (x86).
    In x64 computer i took " export password " in settings. So now i it is a *.xml file.
    When i go into my laptop, so i cant find "import password" ?
    What should i do?

    The "Export passwords" option is not a standard feature of Firefox. You probably have the Password Exporter extension installed on the computer that you exported the passwords on. If you install this extension on the other computer, you should be able to import the xml file.
