check the ORACLE_SID, and the OS user you have logged in as, if the OS user you have logged is in the dba group(OS) then it shouldn't prompt you for a password for the Internal user, also checkout if you are trying to administer a remote database or your ORACLE_SID is set to a different one than the one you are connecting to, and trying to connect as "connect internal_at_Remote_database_connectstring" in this case it will even prompt you for a password, then you need to check out the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE parameter in the initsid.ora file.

 Here is the syntax for changing the password for Internal.

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/orapwd file=<filename> password=<password> entries=<max_users>

Let me know if you require more help.

<br>>&nbsp; I would like to be convinced one way or the other on the following
issue :
<br>>&nbsp; What is the best way to take a database down for a cold backup ?
<br>>
<br>>&nbsp; SHUTDOWN ABORT

<br>>
<br>>&nbsp; or
<br>>
<br>>&nbsp; SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
<br>>&nbsp; &lt;BACKUP>
<br>>
<br>>&nbsp; I have seen both widely used.
<br>>&nbsp; I have always stayed away from the ABORT option because I am
uneasy about
<br>>&nbsp; taking any database down this way (hard).
<br>>&nbsp; I am looking for a dialog on the pro's and con's of each approach.
<br>>&nbsp; ie: Any horror stories about taking down with the ABORT option
?
