Nico,
There are many reasons why you could be prompted for a
password. The most common ones are not having the
environment variables set properly (oracle_sid,
oracle_home, etc...), file permissions, or corrupted
net config files.
The following doc in MetaLink has all the details:
Note: 69642.1 - "Checklist for Resolving CONNECT
INTERNAL PASSWORD Issues"
