ORA-01017 error and re-create password file? seek advices.

I used TOAD 9.5 to log in one Oracle 10g database with sys/password as sysdba. It worked fine always. However, today I tried to log in again and come across the ORA-01017 error. Invalid username/password. Then I went to windows server command line to log in as conn / as sysdba and also log in conn sys/password@sid as sysdba, I all logged in successfully. I checked the password file is in $oracle_home\database\. I logged in as normal user successfully.
My question is: what caused this ORA-error? how to fix it? Is it necessary for me to re-create password file to fix this? Or there is other options? Thanks.

First though is double check make sure you have no typo when inputting username/password,
ORA-01017 is very specific error about wrong password, if you have problem with passwordfile you would likely to get ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
You can change your sys password using alter user statement, Oracle will sync the password file.

Ora-01990 error in opening the password file

Hi,
I created a password file by using orapwd utility. Then later on I modified the remote_login_passwordfile in the spfile by giving the command:
sql> alter system set remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive
scope=spfile.
Then it is altered. Later on I shutdown the database and When I was trying to connect to the databse again, I am getting the following errors.
ORA-01990 error openeing the passowrd file.
ORA-27037 unable to obtain file status
linux error:2 no such file or directory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried that also.It is giving ora-32001 write to spfile requested but no spfile specified at startup.
First Manually I deleted the password file and I set the remote_login_passwordfile=none in the parameter file and again I started the instance just by giving
sql>startup open pfile='OraHome1/dbs/initRADHI.ora'
then I tried to modify the the Remote_Login_PASSWORDFILE thru alter system set command.then it is giving the above error. then I again shutdown the DB and again I started without specifying the parameter file or spfile just saying sql>startup. Then also it is not taking the SPFILE to startup. why is so? Then also same error I am getting?
ora-32001 write to spfile requested but no spfile at startup. can anyone of you help me.
Thanks,
Have a nice day.

ORA- 01017 Error ( Invalid Username Password) Logon Denied

Gurus,
I am running into the above error ( ORA- 01017) ( Invalid Username Password) Logon Denied on the Oracle Application Server 10g.

On windows 2003 server
The DB is 11g and I am using the Oracle applicaton Server 10g - Forms Services
Also have Installed Oracle Dev_suite ( Oracle forms)
Instances used - PROD and TEST
Have developed a simple form and using Forms services ( the below url) is used
http://<<Hostname>>/forms/frmservlet?form=meds_trans_menu.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes&lookAndFeel=oracle&colorScheme=blue
the Login screen comes ,

new password
re-enter new password
When I try to enter the new password and hit ok button, it shows error message again and again.

Gurus - Any ideas , suggestions how this can be resolved?
Is this issues because of version mismatch ( 11g DB and Oracle Forms 10g)??

ORA-01017 Error when installing Grid Control 10.2.0.3

Hello all,
I have the following problem: I am installing the Grid Control on a Linux machine and when I get to the "Specify Repository Database Configuration" step and enter the SYS password I get an ORA-01017 error. I still can connect under SQLPLUS with the same pwd as SYSDBA.
Any clue how to get ride of this will be very appreciated.
Best regards.

Yes this is what I do, but still receive "Insufficient privileges to write to that location". So I am forced to use normal file system to be able to continue.

ORA-12709: error while loading create database character set

I installed Oracle 8.05 on Linux successfully: was able to login

During this install I chose WE8ISO8859P9 as the database

After that I installed Oracle Application Server 3.02, and now
I'm getting the

Platform is RedHat Linux 5.2.
NLS_LANG set to different settings,

but without success.
Anyone any clue?
Thanks!

You can create the database with WE8DEC character set
and to use the WE8ISO8859P9 on the client or even on Linux.
The NLS_LANG setting doesn't effect the database, but the
interface with the database. The same setting can be used in de
windows 95/98/NT registry.

Why do I get error 'Could not create temporary file. No space left on device" when I use the Engine Installation Wizard in TestStand?

The process gets to the NIVISA\SETUP.INI step, then I get this error.
I've tried with installing the MDAC and not, and it happens both times.
The drive I'm trying to create the file to has 7.4GB open on it, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
Thank you,
Dave Neumann

Dave,
This is documented in the KnowledBase 2D6A63VW titled: "Error: Could Not Create Temporary File, No Space Left on Device".
As RByrd suggested, you might need to free up some memory space in your System Temp directory, OR you may change the location of your System Temp directory to one with more space (such as the directory where you want the TestStand Engine files to be saved). The Knowledbase shows how to do this step by step. This is its URL:

What's the fix for this error: Can't create the file "feed.xml."

I try to publish my site from iWeb but I get an error which is below.
Publish Error
Can’t create the file “feed.xml.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.
Anyone know the fix?

Whether 'feed.xml' is the first file it is trying to upload, indicating a general failure to connect, or whether it's choked at that particular point would be the question. It would be worth your getting an FTP program if you don't already have one - Cyberduck is free - and checking whether any files at all have been uploaded.
Is this the first time you've tried to publish or are you updating an existing site? If it's the first you should check carefully that your settings are correct, in particular the 'path' which varies between different hosts and may be blank or may be something like 'public.html' or 'htdocs' - this would lead to the actual webspace which may not be the root level as you access the FTP server.
You could also try publishing to a local folder - create a special folder somewhere and specify it when setting iWeb to do this, check the contents are OK, then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) using Cyberduck.

Create password file Oracle10g RAC

Hi all,
we have Oracle10g R1 (64 bit) running on RAC Unix. these servers (2 servers and 2 instance) are using RMAN and the logs are transfered to DR server ( only 1 server). i dun have any idea on how to create password file with this structure, originally we want to change SYS password. and how to create password file at both RAC server and DR server, make sure the logs be transmitted without problem to DR server.
would like to the exact procedure ...any idea?
many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nonie

to change SYS password. and how to create password
file at both RAC server and DR server, make sure the
logs be transmitted without problem to DR server.
Have not you created password file on Database and DG ? use orapwd command to create password file. Well changing password on Database side, is same simple procedure, but on DR you can change password in password file , but problem is how to change password on DR database. So only option remain is refresh DR Database !!!!

How to open orapwd tool to create password file?

Hi Guys,
I got information as
orapwd
orapwd file=password_file_name password=the_secret_password
orapwd file=password_file_name password=the_secret_password entries=n
There is a default location and name for password files. When a password file is created, it should be created in that location.
n specifies the maximum number of distinct DBAs and OPERs that can be stored in the password file.
orapwd is a command line tool to create password files.
How to open orapwd tool to create password file?
Thanks
Jim

Hi
ORAPWD is a oracle utility to craete a password file to identify users that can use the SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges when connecting to the database.Its not a GUI utility.It is run on the cmd(in windows) abd on the terminal(in unix).
To create the password file the command is
orapwd file=filename password=password entries=max_users
You can refer to below links

Creating Password File Oracle10g

Hi there,
i need to create password file at primary and standby db. can someone reconfirm on the steps should i do before do this?
1. Login as oracle at primary db
2. check remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
3. cd $ORACLE_HOME
4. orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=mypasswd entries=50 --> no need to bounce db because the parameter remote_login_passwordfile is already set to EXCLUSIVE.
5. Login as oracle at standby db
6. cd $ORACLE_HOME
7. orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=mypasswd entries=50
8. no need to restart standby db.
is this the correct steps?
when running this command below:
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=mypasswd entries=50
is there anyway i can skip key in the password for SYS? or key in but not in clear text?
the purpose is because we are splitting the SYS password into 2 parts, just because of security requirement.
somebody?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nonie

Hi Harry,
Thanks for the idea, but still in clear text. hahaha donno why so complicated on dealing with security issues, one of it is two different person holder half of whole password. seems like no other way to invisibly key in this sys password, i rather keep the whole password.
thanks to all.. :)

Nonie

PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error. I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
has found an error and cannot save the file.
This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved. The template has been used without error many, many times.
I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
Kind regards

Hi,
Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm
