You don't need oradata folder to create the password file. All you need is the orapwd util to create it. Just do as follows,
E:\>orapwd
Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users> force=<y/n>
  where
    file - name of password file (mand),
    password - password for SYS (mand),
    entries - maximum number of distinct DBA and     force - whether to overwrite existing file (opt),
OPERs (opt),
  There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.
E:\>orapwd file=<your file location> password=<your password here> enteries=5 force=NOracle would create the password file for you in the Databsae folder.
