Orcale XE password file error?

I have created many users and when I try to create another user it gives me.
ORA-01996: GRANT failed: password file '' is full
Is their away to find out max amount of passwords and the file that contains this .
Also once I know this.
Is their away to extend it thru using orapwd or anything else. Thanks

As per metalink note, the problem is due to TSM Error relating to incorrect password settings for the TSM Media Manager.

My password file is /opt/ora9/product/9.2/dbs/orapwmydb
How can I use my orapwmydb file?

Hi Marco,
as far as I know, you have to use the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = SHARED option in your init...ora file.
In this case you have one password file for one or more databases. It can only have the entries for SYS and INTERAL.
I'm sorry to cannot answer your question of having different password files for different databases %-)

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.

Configuration assistant error OPW-000001 cannot open password file

The password file for the new database exists with the the permissions, owner and group:

I have tried running dbca as root and oracle but get the same error.

Does the user have appropriate operating system privileges?

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.

HT201262 cannot go to cmd+V or S, I cannot change my password. -error message ===boot file path system library coreservices boot.efi.... Please help.

cannot go to cmd+V or S, I cannot change my password. -error message ===boot file path system library coreservices boot.efi.... Please help.

Got it thanks macjack . Command + S on restart.
In this case Nad69-Breizh did you try restarting with the option key down and re-selecting the boot drive.
If no Recovery option, try command option R for internet recovery. Takes some time to load up.

Password file required?

I am attempting to install Application Express (htmldb and oracle http server) from the 10g Companion Disk. During the install, after I enter the connection information (including the SYS password), I get an Ora-01017 Invalid username/password error message. I have scoured the OTN and Metalink sites and found several notes that suggest setting up an Orcale password file and setting the parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=exclusive. The problem is that we do not use password files in our environment. Do htmldb/http server REQUIRE use of a password file. I can find nothing on this in the documentation. Please advise.

To install APEX into the database you must run the apexins.sql script on the database on which you wish to load APEX.
The script can be located at ORACLE_HOME/apex/apexins.sql.
The scripts takes six arguments as parameters.
password: Password you wish to give for your APEX schema
apex_tablespace: The tablespace to hold APEX schema
apex_file_tablespace: Tablespace to hold APEX files
temp_tablespace: Temporary tablespace
images: Virtual directory for Images
connect: Connect stringThe last parameter "connect string" specifies a connect string for your target Oracle database. If the database is NOT on the server where the APEX software is located, you need to set that REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE parameter as you mentioned. This has nothing to do with APEX, it is just a requirement for non-local (remote) SYSDBA logins.
It is best to copy the APEX software over to the server where the database resides and do a local install (where you can pass in NONE for that 6th parameter)
Hope this helps.

Configuring password file in oracle 10g

Hi
Can anyone here guide me to the steps to be followed in configuring password file.
I am learning cloning using RMAN. For that purpose I need to configure password file at first.
I created the password file using orapwd utility.
and then made the required changes in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files. Reloaded listener.
Set SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE) in the sqlnet.ora file
Made the changes required in the initialization parameter file for the duplicate database instance.
Next, export ORACLE_SID= <DUPLICATE DATABASE NAME>
CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
rman TARGET sys/password@target-tnsname AUXILIARY sys/password@duplicate-tnsname
At this stage, I get the below error.
RMAN-00554 initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN- 04006 error from auxiliary database: ORA- 01031 : Insufficient privileges

Are the Auxiliary and Target databases on the same machine?
Can you also check the parameter Local_Listener for Auxiliary Database?

Password file issue in Oracle 10g

Hi,
While trying connecting from SQL prompt using command
SQL> CONNECT SYS/PASSWORD@CONNECT_STRING AS SYSDBA
It gives error
ORA-01031 insufficient privilege
If SQL> CONNECT SYS/PASSWORD AS SYSDBA
It works successfully??
After connecting without using connect_string.
Only one DB is running on this machine.
Then SELECT * FROM V$PWFILE_USERS;
0 ROWS RETURNED
Recreated the pwd file same issue persists. What may be the reason?
If SQL> GRANT SYSDBA TO SYS;
ERROR ORA-01994: GRANT FAILED: PASSWORD FILE MISSING OR DISABLED
Password file created using command
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0db_1/dbs/orapwPRIMDB password=pwd entries=5
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

The first command is a 'remote connection'. To be able to connect as sysdba remotely, spfile remote_login_passwordfile should be set to exclusive.
When there is no password file or the parameter is incorrect this results in ora-1031.
The second command uses O/S authentication, and doesn't use the password file at all.
O/S authentication is set up in sqlnet.ora.
SYS has always SYSDBA, by design. Granting SYSDBA to SYS is redundant.
Obviously in this directory name
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0db_1/dbs/
there is a / missing and it should have been
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/
So you still have no valid passwordfile.
You could have and should have easily spotted this yourself.
