Forgot my SYS and SYSDBA password and used orapwd

Hi all,
I have successfully installed Oracle 11g and was able to create the ORCL database as well. I also run a script to create another database but there were tables that were auto-generated by the system such as the APPLY$_CHANGE_HANDLERS with many other tables names with "$". I was trying to DROP these tables but ORA-00604 and ORA-00942 errors kept appearing.
I thought maybe I need to login as SYSDBA but I forgot the password during installation so I used the Oracle_Home\BIN\orapwd. CMD prompt appeared but quickly gone away.
I appreciate any help:
1. I need to change SYSDBA password
2. I need to drop the unwanted tables created by the system.
Thanks in advance

entering pw in the cmd prompt doesn't do a thing.Hm, it seems you use orapwd in a wrong manner, please read it's help message, it's quite simple to recreate pwd file.
I cannot seem to connect to default ORCL database in the Oracle SQL Developer using the SYS, SYSDBA users. So I used the Oracle_Home\BIN\orapwd but as mentioned before the cmd prompt appeared for a split second.ofcause it would.
I am still digging in the forums and google but could not find a definite solution~Solution is: recreate your password file by orapwd utility in command prompt.

  • Starting up a database when I forgot the sys and system password

    Hi,
    I want to startup up a database from Oracle Entreprise Manager. I forgot the sys and system password.
    If I give the command:
    orapwd file=orapwSDB01 password=test entries=100
    can I give the password "test" to sys and then to connect with sys with password test as sysdba, and then to startup the database? Are any problems with this command?
    Thank you,
    Mihaela

    Hi,
    I have not done this myself, but YES, according to the documentation, thats correct.
    ORAPWD FILE=mypwdfile PASSWORD=syspass ENTRIES=10
    will set the password of SYS to syspass. And you can use the same further.
    But here, you should be in oracle user or the user which owns the Oracle installation.
    Also, OS authentication is always supperior than any other authentication.

  • I forgot sys and system password

    Dear All,
    I installed oracle database 9.2.0.6 one year ago and I am using this database for RMAN.
    Today I need it to do something else but I really forgot the sys and system password and i dont know what to do.
    I appreciate your help on that.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    >>I really forgot the sys and system password
    Really ? or are you trying to hack the database ? :-)
    You can try this too:
    Use the orapwd utility in order to re-create the SYS password...
    e.g.: orapwd file=orapw<SID> password=adm entries=5
    Cheers

  • Forgot SYS and SYSTEM password

    Hi all,
    I have forgotten the password for SYS and SYSTEM. Is there any way to reset their pwd?

    It depends on what authentication you use
    IF you have something like remote_login_passwordfile=NONE then it will be OS authentication in that case
    you can use
    cmd>sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    login to sqlplus change the password
    If toy have something like remote_login_passwordfile=SHAREDor EXCLUSIVE then
    frm cmd>orapwd file=<name> password=<pwd> entries=5
    will do that for you
    Correct me if i am wrong

    How do I stop getting notifications from the wrong instagram account on my iPhone?
    Okay. So, I made a second instagram account with my friend for trolling, and I decided I wanted it out of my life, but forgot the password and used a fake email! I have no way of logging on or deleting the account, so I figured I would just forget about it. But after I logged back on to my regular one, I kept getting notifications from the fake account!! I don't know what to do because there are some vulgar things that keep popping up and I just want them gone! :'( Can anyone help??

    I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
    But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.

    If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

  • How do I get into my trophy if I forgot password?  Need to use it because my iPhone face cracked and I need to use my Trophy until my new iPhone comes in, but I forgot the passcode, as I haven't used it for over a year.  Help???

    I need to use my old Trophy phone for a couple of days until I get my new iPhone, but I forgot my passcode, as I haven't used it in over a year.  How do I get in?

        Let's get your phone unlocked, pb1441! When the passcode is forgotten on the HTC Trophy, a Factory Data Reset would need to be done. Here is a link with the steps http://vz.to/1ofEiHx. Be sure to follow the ones listed under Alternate Reset Method.

    If you have administrator rights on the win server, you could make use of OS authentication for sys and a user, you create externally and give him dba role. These users could then connect to the database after being logged on on the win server with
    SQL> connect / as sysdba
    SQL> connect /Look at
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e10574/authentication.htm#CHDBBFBF
    to see how to create an externally identified DB user.

    How i used the new one to update these apps?
    thanks

    Your device can hold apps from multiple IDs, but to update them you have to swicth identities which is time consuming. If possible use only the one ID. If you need to reset the password for your old ID visit My Apple ID.

    You can NOT do so. Only the owner of the account used to lock the phone can remove it. Instructions for how to do so can be found within or linked from within the document I already linked to.
    Activation lock is an anti-theft feature designed to make the device useless to anyone other than the rightful owner.
    If your friend refuses to give your money back and can not or will not remove the activation lock, there is a fair possibility that the phone was not theirs to sell in the first place.
