Left Password column blank on oracle 10.2.1g, now what?

I left blank on all my password columns while installing oracle 10.2.0.1, now I can't access the database. Anybody will help me. Way back, in the previous century, I used have password <manager> for system or change-on-install or for scott , the password <tiger>. Those don't work here. Please tell me....

It worked by connecting as SYSDBA and giving the database name and a password in SQL mode but it didn't work in iSQL mode, I don't know why? It is Windows XP, operating system.
Um, I don't think there is a need to re-create the
database.
You didn't mention your platform. Can you log on to
the database server as the user that installed
Oracle?
If so, can you connect with:
sqlplus "/ as sysdba" ?
If so, just do:
ALTER USER sys IDENTIFIED BY
your_sys_password_goes_here;
and
ALTER USER system IDENTIFIED BY
your_system_password_goes_here;
If you can't login via:
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
i.e., if it prompts you for a password, you'll need
to remove and recreate the password file.
Default location is $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw<sidname>
where <sidname> is the SID you specified when you
created the database. Remove this file. Then, run
the orapwd utility to reset the password. Once
you've done that, login as "/ as sysdba", supply the
password you gave when you ran orapwd, and you're
in.
Hope that helps,
-Markit worked well so far sql mode but in iSQL mode, it doesn't work...I donna.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.23.... and when firefox asks me to update to firefox 7 I download it and upon completion, end up with a blank screen and no options to click.. I've done this routine more than once... and always end up with a blank screen on the desktop...

  • HT1386 I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    OK, I think I fixed it.
    After trying to restore with an old backup from the phone (it estimated it would take 4 hours) I cancelled and went through the setup menus again, but set it up as a new phone. It then appeared in iTunes and I restored it from the computer, not the phone. It appears to be working, it's syncing my old apps right now.
    Summary:
    1. Reset settings on phone (hopefully you backed up fairly recently)
    2. Set up as NEW iPhone in setup menu on phone
    3. Restore from iTunes on computer when it recognizes the phone
    4. Cross fingers

  • DBA_USERS showing null values in PASSWORD column

    Hi,
    We are running a select query from dba_users table as follows :
    select username from dba_users
    where to_char(expiry_date, 'DD-MON-YY') =
    to_char(sysdate + &expire_day, 'DD-MON-YY')
    and password not in ('EXTERNAL','account-locked')
    and account_status <> 'LOCKED';
    This query was running fine with 10g Version, but after Oracle was upgraded to 11G recently, above query does not return any rows.
    Also, when we remove the condition "and password not in ('EXTERNAL','account-locked')", it works.
    And the values for the PASSWORD column shows null.
    Is this related to Oracle upgrade ?
    Kindly help..
    Thanks,
    Jatin

    I have the same behavior in my 11g db (I have nulls in password column too) as checking docs:
    [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e24448/statviews_5081.htm#REFRN23302]Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) - DBA_USERS
    I can see:
    USER_USERS describes the current user. This view does not display the PASSWORD, PROFILE, PASSWORD_VERSIONS, EDITIONS_ENABLED, or AUTHENTICATION_TYPE columns....
    PASSWORD      VARCHAR2(30)           This column is deprecated in favor of the AUTHENTICATION_TYPE columnIt seems you need to get this info from somewhere else.

  • Seeking to restore a selection "desktop" in the left-hand column

    Getting 'help' is consistantly hard. This is another case where Help should be easy to an quick to find under "help" troubleshooting in iPhoto. In order to get to this support community I must first get a new apple password because i most certainly did not forget the current one, having recently been forced to make a new password on these dates 9/18/13 - 11/1/13 - 11/30/13 - 1/27/14 - and again today 2/24/14 each time writing down the new forced password as I did the with the dates as you can see. Leaving open the question What is a password?
    Next seeking help is also needlessly difficult because I cannot cut and paste the question from previous failed attempts to get help instead having to retype each time. The original question I am after is:
    Using iPhoto The selection 'Desktop' went missing from where it has been on the left side column under the title 'Library'. This choice 'desktop' is the item I use the most. Looking under 'Help' I see there is a way to delete but no way to restore or create the selection Desktop which opened a screen showing the current contents of my desktop for further selections.

    Are you referring the the Desktop entry in the left hand pane of a Finder window?
    as there is no Desktop item in the left hand pane of iPhoto and never has been.

  • How can I create a document with two columns in which the text in the left hand column flows to the left column on page 2,3 etc, and doesn't interfere with the text I want to place in the right? Pages 5.

    I'm using pages 5 and want to comment in a right hand column, on a (latin) text which I wish to place in a left hand column.
    Ideally I'd like to be able to copy and paste the latin text and see it flow over into the left hand column on multiple pages.
    At the moment it is impossible for me to keep the text only in the left hand column Any help!?
    B

    Columns do what columns do, flow from the bottom of the left hand column to the top of the right hand next column. So won't do what you want.
    Your tag says you are using OS X 10.5.8 but you say you are using Pages 5 so one or the other is not correct.
    If you migrated up to Pages 5 what did you do with your previous Pages '08 or '09?
    Because Pages 5 is missing over 100 features, one of which is Textbox linking, that would allow to flow down through a series of Textboxes set up like columns.
    What you can do is run the Latin text down a narrow document to the left and add individual Textboxes to the right and put your English translations in those. The Latin will flow but the English will not.

  • Devices does not show up in left-hand column

    Ipod nano is connected to USB port and has fully charged. "Devices" doesn't show up in left-hand column.  Library, Store, Genius, and Playlists are listed.  Looked on public forums, but no viable solution displayed.  I welcome suggestions.  Nano was not recognized when used an older cable.  2nd cable worked.
    I think it could be my PC's problem.  It doesn't list the nano in control panel.
    I reset the nano, to no avail.

  • My ipod is not showing up in the left hand column on itunes. I have tried the trouble shooting methods but nothing is working. My ipod nano also will not play.

    My ipod nano is not showing up in the left hand column of itunes. It says connected on the ipod and I can find it in my computer but its not there on itunes. I need it as I want to restore it to factory settings. I have tried the troubleshooting methods that are on the Apple website but no luck.
    Also my ipod is not playing. I found a way to upload all my music to my new computer. I followed a guide given to me on wiki and it worked. However, since then I cannot get the ipod to play. The menu is there, it turns on, all the playlists are visable but when I press play it does nothing or flicks briefly on to the page to play but then flicks back to the list again. I have tried all the troubleshooting on the Apple website but again nothing. I wanted to restore it to factory settings but to do this you have to be able to access the ipod in the left column on itunes which obviously I can't do. That was happening before the ipod stopped working. The two issues are separate.
    Thanks and hope you can help me.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • How to create a title over the top of the left-most column in a cross-tab.

    This is one of those things that seems simple until you try it.
    I'm almost there.  I moved the cross-tab from the report header to the report footer so I can have a page title.  I tried using an overlay but it didn't work for any page past the first.
    I can't seem to figure out how to put a title over the left-most column though.
    Thanks in advance,
    J

    I have used a text box, after you type in the text, select the box, and move it to the front.
    then select the crosstab and move it to the back.

  • When I try to sync my apps to itunes nothing appears in the left hand column and i can't sync or remove them...why?

    When I try to sync my apps to itunes a pop up appears that says itunes will no longer sync apps to my ipod. Then it gives me an option to either keep my apps or remove them. No matter what i press nothing happens either way. None of my apps ever appear in the left-hand column either. Why is that ?

    What about the answer to my other question:
    Is this the computer you synced with last time?

  • How to rename the column name in oracle 8i?

    hi,
    Does anyone know how to rename the column name in oracle 8i?My method was drop the relationship key first then delete the old column,finally add the new column.
    Thanks for your replay.
    jing

    There is no facilty to rename a column name in Oracle 8i. This is possible from Oracle 9.2 version onwards.
    For you task one example given below.
    Example:-
    Already existed table is ITEMS
    columns in ITEMS are ITID, ITEMNAME.
    But instead of ITID I want ITEMID.
    Solution:-
    step 1 :- create table items_dup
    as select itid itemid, itemname from items;
    step 2 :- drop table items;
    step 3 :- rename items_dup to items;
    Result:-
    ITEMS table contains columns ITEMID, ITEMNAME
