If any of your scripts rely on the sys password I would be surprised. Not saying its not possible but I personally don't do anything in scripts that require me to be signed in as sys.

The dba left and now we are stuck!

We know the SYSTEM password, but we don't know the SYS password. Is there any way that this can be "hacked" (Ver 8.0.5.1.1) so we can know what it is?

Yes, we could change it, but nobody knows what scripts or other applications rely on the current SYS password. It's kind of a sticky wicket.

We want to get OEM 2.1 up and running with the intelligent agent, but that may require building the password file. Will that mess up the current SYS password?
