Sys password issue

We have oracle 10.2.0.1 running on Unix
WE didnt set the password of SYS user in oracle but now we would like to set
I use the command alter user sys identified by password
i got message user altered
Now i tried connection to sys/password@abc as sysdba
but no luck
So i created password file by
orapwd file=orapwdhmo password=password entries=2 force=y
file created but again unable to login
and at OS level
if I set
ORACLE_SID=INSTANCE_NAME
export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus / as sysdba
connected
I am able to
Please let me know how to set password for sys

Is this attempt where the db resides, or from a remote client:
sqlplus "sys/password@abc as sysdba"
On the other hand,
ORA-01031: Message 1031 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS,
facility=ORA
unavoidably means you cannot open error message catalog. Reasons are either:
- Incorrect ORACLE_HOME setting
- Incorrect PATH setting
- files have been removed
And this error message issue must first be solved before you pretend to change sys password.
Changing sys password is as follows:
1. Create a password file
2. Make sure your remote_login_password_file says exclusive
3. rebounce your instance
4. change sys password
5. verify your username is listed at the V$PWFILE_USERS dynamic view
7. change user password.
I suggest you to double check.

Changing 'SYS' password in 'Shared' mode ?

Oracle 9.2/AIx5.3
I have two Db DB1/DB2, both of these Db's are in 'Shared' remote login password mode. Now, I was under the impression that whilst in this mode, it was not possible to simply issue a command
alter user SYS Identified by <NEW PASSWORD>;
to change the password, if you did, it would result in an error message. Today I have tried, and it allowed me to change the 'SYS' password ? How is this the case. I’ve tried it on a 10g Db that’s also running in 'Shared' mode and got the following error message.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28046: Password change for SYS disallowed

Metalink 452959.1 states you cannot change or add users to the passwordfile when remote_login_passwordfile='SHARED' and you need to set this to 'EXCLUSIVE'. I had to look this up and I found it simply by searching for the error number.
Assuming you are not running 10.2.0.1 you could have easily looked up yourself.
Also as Oracle is always changing, differences between 9.2 and 10gR1 or R2 are best verified by looking in the release notes for that version, providing the quickest answer easily.

How to recreate dbconsole (Oracle10g ) after change SYS password?

Hi all,
would like to know how to recreate dbconsole after change SYS password? is there any links i can refer?
Thanks
Rgds,
Nonie

You don't need to recreate the console after changing the SYS password, it is not required. Once you have changed the sys password, the only two tasks you'll may have to do are:
1. Connect to the DB Control Console with the new password (mandatory, obviously).
2. Change the preferred credentials, in case you have stored the sys password as preferred credentials for your database.
Console repository and EM configuration have to be rebuilt only when there are connectivity conditions that have changed, such as host name change, or IP address change, which happens when you get your IP address by means of a DHCP server.
Are you currently facing some issue, besides the log in with new credentials, when attempting to start services?
One more thing I could guess you are working on a 10gR?? (1 or 2) on an unknown platform (unix, windows???) please specify.

WebDB SYS password summary and help

Hi,
I am working through the installation of webdb2.2 and have reached the invalid SYS password problem that many others here have encountered. I have seen advice to add a webdb alias to the tnsnames.ora file, use the default $ORACLE_HOME for the installation and let the system sort it out, or create a pass.sys file with the SYS username and password in it.
Which one of these seems to be the consensus 'BEST' way to get by the problem? I haven't followed this issue long enough to get a feel for how not to do it and would rather avoid making a mess of it.
TIA,
Nathan

New drive has password issues

Hi world,
I had to change my intel iMac hard drive.
Luckily I had a back up, however on trying to open after copying the back up it appears the passwords don't work.
It also won't accept a new password even with the master password entered (which it appears to accept and then prompts for a new password)
Any ideas?
Thanks. SP

How do I fix this to continue with the installation.How this is related to the password issue? The password is case-sensitive in 11g so please check that you are using the correct password and it's in the correct case. If you can't remember the last password, issue the below command,

Lost sys password ...any way to recover

hi All
I lost the sys password ... is there any way to recover it ....
Thanks

Pay no attention to the ridiculous piece of advice you've just been given by someone else! Restoring a prior backup would be a monumentally moronic thing to do -apart from anything else, all you'd be doing is restoring the password you say you've forgotten!
You don't say what OS you're on, and that makes a bit of a difference, but ultimately not much so I'll just carry on... but as a tip for the future, always mention your OS because then people replying don't have to guess.
1. Members of the dba group (or the ORA_DBA group on Windows) are allowed to log on as a SYS without supplying a password at all. Connect / as sysdba means "get me on as sys, but I'm not telling you my password" -at which point Oracle checks who you're logged on to at the OS level, and then checks the group memberships of the dba (Linux/Unix) or ORA_DBA groups (Windows). If you're a member you're in... and then you can issue a command such as 'alter user sys identified by newpwd'.
You can only really do this technique, however, when you're connecting on the box which runs Oracle itself. If you don't have access to the server, it's not going to work. You also need to configure those OS groups with the appropriate tools. If you don't know how to do that, you're in trouble.
2. If you're using a password file to authenticate as SYS, then you can simply delete the existing password file and replace it with a new one... and you get to specify the new password for SYS at the time you create the new file. The utility provided by Oracle for this purpose is "orapwd" and the command on Windows, for example, would look like:
orapwd file=c:\oracle\10g\databases\pwdSID.ora password=newpwd entries=20
The file has to live in the ORACLE_HOME\database or ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory; it has to be called whatever is appropriate for your operating system (now you see why it helps to know your OS!) and the figure for "entries" represents how many people you might want to grant the SYSDBA privilege to in the future, so make it higher than you think you need right now.
On Linux, the required name for the password file is of the form orapwSID, where SID is the name of your instance/database. On Windows, it's as I showed you above: pwdSID.ora.
Once you have a new password file in place, you can log in as 'sys\newpword@somedb as sysdba' and again issue an 'alter user sys identified by yetanothernewpword' command: that will update the password file as well as changing things inside the database itself and you'll log on with that password thereafter.

@king_ofthe_bill ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Force SYS password

$sqlplus '/as sysdba'
SQL>
is it possible to force keying in SYS password after issue sqlplus '/as sysdba'
thanks a lot

Hi ..
Thanks for your reply, but need to know what do u
mean by backward compatibility?
Howard, based on your comment,
1) remove yourself from the dba group
--> what if my id is stay with dba group? can it be?Two things here..
1.Connectiong from the remote machine
2.connecting directly on the server
I think what you are trying is directy on the server
If you are member of DBA group and SQLNET_AUTEHNICATION_SERVICES=NTS in the SQLNET.ora the you connect without passsword/wrong password eventhough REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE..
THis is called OS authentication whihc takes precedence over passworfile authentication
(2) create a password file
--> if i create this password file, will it be
permenant, if i want revert back to original state,
can i simply delete this password file?If you have created a passwordfie and you want everyone to go through passwordfile in the machine
set REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSSOWRDFILE=EXCLUSIVE
SQLNET_AUTEHNICATION_SERVICES=NONE
Here you only login with password and if you dont passwordfile authentication delete the passwordfile and set the SQLNET_AUTEHNICATION_SERVICES=NTS will enable you to login without password provided you are a member of DBA group
(3) set the remote_os_passwordfile initialisation
parameter to EXCLUSIVE to tell the instance that it
should be used.If you set to to exclusive you can login from the remote machine as sysdba with a password
--> guys, really confuse right now. which one i
should change?
Are you clear?

SYSTEM and SYS password 11g on Windows Vista

Hello
I am having trouble. I do not know my SYSTEM and SYS passwords. I am using oracle 11g on windows vista. I tried to change the passwords but that did not work. I tried this:
c:/>sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
c:/>show user
c:/>passw system
then I changed the password. When I tried to log in the password change did not take effect. Any help would be great!

Hi,
There is no default password for sys and system in 11g.
you cna use the below command to change the system or sys password
alter user SYSTEM identified by PASWORD
same for sys
nOTE: password are case sensitive.Regards,

Upgraded to yosemite and now having password issues and slow start up

I have upgraded my macbook pro to the OS X Yosemite operating system and now encountering start up and password issues.
Previously on start up my system would go to the log on icon within 10 to 15 seconds of pushing the on button. Now there is horizontal loading indicator bar appearing and takes about 30seconds to 1 minute to go away before getting to the log on screen and if I click on my icon the system goes live on screen without having to put in a password which is an obvious security issue.
I have tried adding a password however each time I try to put my old password in it tells me it is the wrong one.
I am operating Yosemite 10.10.2 on a macbook pro with 8gb memory with i7 processor..
The computer was running perfectly ok before this up grade so I had resisted previous prompts to upgrade due to the bad press this system was getting last year. I thought Apple would have had this all sorted by now??
I would appreciate any help if anyone knows how to resolve these issues.

Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server BIOS password issue

We have a Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server BIOS password issue.
We needed to turn on Bit locker in the Cisco Server VCS C220. To do this we needed to create an administrator password for the BIOS to turn on trusted Platform Module (TPM). After we set up the administrator password and turn on Security for TPM. We were prompted for the administrator password. It would not let us log in with the administrator password that we created for the BIOS. In the next few days we received a BIOS is corrupted screen (BIOS Flash Image Corrupted *****).We follow procedures to recover the BIOS with the USB stick with recovery .cap file in the root folder. We tried reseating the jumper pg. 35 of the Cisco Server VCS C220 M3 Server of the Installation and Service Guide.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/C220.pdf
We were able to bring up the server, but we are still not able to get pass the Admin password issue. We tried to clear the CMOS header with Header J37 page 2-18 but we had no success with clearing out the password prompt. Figure 2-6 Service Header Locations shows the J41 BIOS RCVR boot and J37 Clear CMOS.
Can anyone provide us documentation of where the pins are located on the motherboard to clear the BIOS password? We are looking for more of a detail picture of the pins please. The documentation is only showing a basic diagram of the header locations.

You need to look at the CUCM logs for further info on what might have happened, and to make sure your servers are fit for the amount of users, devices, etc. you have in your environment.

Can't install due to password issue

I've reset the password 3X and still can't download due to password issue. Help!

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

HOW TO RESET SYS PASSWORD after rename of db

Thanks for taking my quesiton!
I renamed my database. Everything is working fine except I can not change sys password. If I try I get: ORA-28003 : password verified for the specified password failed.
I can change system's password. I can log on just fine as SYSI think my pwdsid.ora password file may be the problem.
Has anyone every had this happen?
Thanks, Kathie

Hello Kathie,
http://ora-28003.ora-code.com/
Have you set some specific password rules? Is the function VERIFY_FUNCTION available for all and is it valid?
Did you try to change the password for user sys with user sys?
Try it with some different user which have the rights for that... (for example sys) only for testing...
@Anantha:
You are right... but please have a look at here ( Fun with password verification):
