THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi,
In Windows, the password file should be in %ORACLE_HOME%\database folder.
and the format of password file should be PWD%ORACLE_SID%.ora.
If the above violates you will get the error message "unable to open password file".
But connecting "/ as sysdba" doesn't require a password file.
Your problem is you don't have the ORA_DBA group or you didn't set the ORACLE_SID environment variable.
Check if you have the ORA_DBA group and the ORACLE_SID registry key/environment variable.

What is the default password for SYS?

I'm trying to connect to an Oracle 11gR2 database on Linux using sqlplus.
The sys user password version is 10G and sys is one of the usersname returned by the view dba_users_with_defpwd.
Issuing sqlplus sys will get the prompt Enter Password: but I have no idea what password I should enter.
I kind of remember that the installation has a screen to enter password for SYS but I'm not sure what has been done on that screen since I didn't do the installation.
Thanks for any help.

if you want to reset the password of sys. you can recreate the password file with below cmd.
$ orapwd
Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users> force=<y/n> nosysdba=<y/n>
where
file - name of password file (mand),
password - password for SYS (mand),
entries - maximum number of distinct DBA,
force - whether to overwrite existing file (opt),
nosysdba - whether to shut out the SYSDBA logon (opt for Database Vault only).
There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.

EMCA: invalid username/password for sys

Hi All,
Recently i have restored a database from another host A to Host B.
Now when i am trying to reconfiure the Dbconsole using " emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop ", for sys account its throwing 'Invalid username or password'.

Hi Rajesh,
1.I need to view the password the for account :
sys, system, sapr3
Its not possible to view the password, password is always encrypted format stored, if the default has not been changed for SYS, SYSTEM then their password are CHANGE_ON_INSTALL and MANAGER respectively.
2. I need to know for how long passwords have not been changed?
. and how can i change these passwords?
For knowing what date they were changed last,
- connect /as sysdba;
- SQL> select name, ptime from user$;
ptime will give you the last password change date.
you can view at what date the password will be expired by
- select username, account_status, expiry_date from dba_users;
change the password by brtools menu options or directly by chpass.

Note -
Always recommended to use brtools for changing password rather than using the sql commands.

The point about OS authentication for the SYS user is that the SYS user often needs to be authenticated when the database is not up and the the data dictionary cannot be interrogated. For this reason, you can't use the standard Oracle user/password setup as per "normal" users.
So the three options here are
- OS authentication
- Password file
- External authentation e.g. LDAP, etc.
To use a password file, you'll have to disable os authentication otherwise it will overrule the password file.

Password for sys user

Hi all,
i am using oracle8i. i have changed the password for my sys user as oracle123. but i can login by entring any password even i entered user name sys password sys as sysdba it logins to the database. its accepting any password i entered . y like that ??

Not exactly...
To connect AS SYSDBA, there is two ways :
- password file
- OS authentication (i.e. member of the DBA group)
As long as you enable OS auth. (in sqlnet.ora), you could logon with any password (or even no password)
With password file (remote_login_passwordfile<>NONE in init.ora), you'll be able to connect as sysdba even on client, event not a member of DBA group

ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied FOR SYS USER

Hello,
I was usually login through the same password for sys user to log on to the database as sysdba, but last time i used " / as sysdba" to connect using local system administrative account which is connected very well and still connecting in the same way. The initializing parameter file set with the following parameter:
remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE
Now if i use to connect the database server remotely using sys user, it gives me "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" error and if i use the same login credentials on DB server machine using other local user accounts it is giving me "Insufficient Privilige" error. I can only connect now using local administrator account from DB server machine using " / as sysdba" statement.
Kindly guide me the issue.

When you use " / as sysdba" locally on server, you are using OS authentication which will bypass the password file and user/pass authentication.
Looks like you have discrepancy between the password you use and real password. You can login " / as sysdba" and change your SYS password to a new one.
When was last time you successfully login using password? What has changed since then?

few things you can check :
a) Is there a password file ? Is the password correct in it ?
b) SYSDBA remote login is disabled. remote_login_passwordfile is not set to EXCLUSIVE in the spfile or init.ora.
Set: remote_login_passwordfile= EXCLUSIVE
Create a password file:
Unix: $
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=sys entries=5
Windows:
C:\> orapwd file=%ORACLE_HOME%\database\pwd%ORACLE_SID% password= sys entries=5
To synchronize the password for sys for normal connections and connections as sysdba connect as a sysdba user and reset the sys password:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba" SQL> ALTER USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY change_on_install;

No password for internal

Database: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.1
OS: Linux 7.1, Kernel 2.4.2-2
I have not been able to set the password for internal. I have tried using orapwd with parameter remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive under init<sid>.ora file. It did not work. I have tried changing the password for sys using alter user sys identified by <somepassword>. It did not work. I have logged into an sqlplus session under user sys and issued-- password internal. It also did not work. Does anyone know how to setup/change the password for internal?
The disturbing thing about this is that there is no password required for user internal. All one has to do is type-- sqlplus internal-- and it will log a user into Oracle as user sys with sysdba priviledges enabling one to do just about anything to the database they want to. This is a serious security problem.
Did I miss something? Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

Hi,
every system user (UNIX) belonging to group "dba" - but nobody else - can login to oracle via sqlplus or svrmgrl as "user" internal without being asked for password. So the only security issue is to protect the UNIX server/UNIX account!
Pay attention: the connect internal is no longer supported with Oracle9i!

Thomas.

Hi,
Ok i will do in future.
I did as you said but issue is still coming.Now the error is bit different in the log file For this same error i found solution in meta doc id 337260.1 for exact error In the solution i have to to set the value as below but it has already same value.
Error:
CONFIG: SQLEngine created successfully and connected

Solution:
In order to fix the Invalid username/password message
Check the profile limit for the users SYSMAN, DBSNMP and MGMT_VIEW
select u.username, u.profile, p.resource_name, p.limit
from dba_profiles p, dba_users u
where p.profile=u.profile
and u.username in ('SYS', 'SYSMAN','DBSNMP','MGMT_VIEW')
and p.resource_type = 'PASSWORD'
order by u.username, p.resource_name;
If the value of LIMIT for PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION is not NULL:
Change the password so that it meets the function requirements.
If the value of LIMIT for PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX is not UNLIMITED:
Change the password so that it is different from a password that has already been used the number of times set in PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX.
Or
Change the value of LIMIT for PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX to UNLIMITED for the profile.

Password for SYSTEM or SYS

HI,
I have installed Oracle 10g DB on XP. After installation of ORACLE DB, "DATABASE CONFIGURATION ASSISTANT" dialog box came, but i mistakenly click on OK button instead of clicking on PASSWORD MANAGEMENT to set the password for SYSTEM / SYS.
Now when i am trying to login using user id and password, SYSTEM or SYS with password either by Oracle or CHANGE_ON_INSTAL then error is coming as :
ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
DB installation was done on my laptop for testing / learning purpose only.
Would you pls. help to login as SYSDBA / SYSOPER using SYSTEM or SYS ID.
Thanks

HI,
On UNIX the Oracle executable has two group names compiled into it,one for SYSOPER and one for SYSDBA.
These are known as the OSOPER and OSDBA groups.Typically these can be set when the Oracle software is installed.
In this case when you issue the command 'CONNECT / AS SYSOPER' Oracle checks if your Unix logon is a member of the 'OSOPER' group and if so allows you to connect. Similarly to connect as SYSDBA your Unix logon should be a member of
the Unix 'OSDBA' group.
Please check whether the user belongs to OSOPER group.
thanks,
Krishna

Password for Oracle user , sys , system , saprpd

I just join a new company as sys admin . I tried to search password for Oracle user sys , system and saprd in my company password file . Those users password are not stored.
Am I supposed to know those oracle user password ? If yes , Can I find them in my Unix system or sap application ?
Please help !

It is not possible to determine the passwords if you don't know them. But perhaps note 562863 and the described default passwords are useful. Furthermore you can always change passwords if you have SYSDBA privilege using "alter user ... identified by ..." or "brconnect -f chpass".
