TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password

Question

Dear All
I am using Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Release 8.0.5.0.0 on Windows XP
My problem is that
When I tried to stop listener by using lsnrctl80 stop it gives me the subjected error,
while when I stop the listener from Windows Servcies it stops successfully.
Plz note that when I start listener by using lsnrctl80 start it starts successfully.
Following is the information of listener.ora
LISTENER =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= TCP)
(Host= it-rhassan)
(Port= 1521)
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = 0
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = it-rhassan)
(SID_NAME = GL)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = it-rhassan)
(SID_NAME = ERP)
PASSWORDS_LISTENER = (oracle)
Plz note that I alsed tried to give password same as the internal passwrod, and remove PASSWRODS_LISTENER but same error occured in each cases.
Thanks in advance for your help

I did not find the exact solution on the suggested site. only found the Error Code and description.
Then I searched on Google.com and found following result which has successfully solved my problem.
LSNRCTL> change_password
Old password:
New password:
Reenter new password:
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DBDEV1)(PORT=1526)))
TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password
LSNRCTL> set password
Password:
The command completed successfully
LSNRCTL> change_password
Old password:
New password:
Reenter new password:
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DBDEV1)(PORT=1526)))
TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password
LSNRCTL>
Regardless of how you enter the password, through a single line or on the prompt, the change will not be successful. To change the password, you have to remove the line passwords_listener in the file listener.ora and then change the password.
