We had a similar problem for a new 12.2 database we created manually. No matter what we did, we could not get remote SYS connections to work. Our solution was to drop the database and recreate it with DBCA, for some reason that made the difference. I know yours is an upgrade but just to let you know you are not alone.

Hi Jack,
A couple of irrelevant things first.
It’s weird that autoupgrade didn’t create a service for you, it had to run the upgrade somewhere so presumably it had a service at some point.
<sid> should really be <tnsnames entry that points to appropriate listener and sid/service name>. Sid might be an appropriate name, but when you have many environments with the same DBs, this doesn’t make too much sense. If the instance is local then just set the environment parameter oracle_sid and connect without a connection string.
Anyway…
Did you make sure you are using the password you set with orapwd? Did you make sure you set the password file name correctly - people often use the wrong casing. It should be “PWDsid.ora”.
Hope this helps,
Andy

Situation:
Windows 2016 Oracle 19.14 (just upgraded from 18C using autoupgrade)
At the end of the upgrade it needed me to use oradim to create the service as the upgrade does not do that. I ran the oradim command but it gave an error that the password did not meet requirements.
The service was created, but no password file.
No problem, stopped the database and used orapwd to create password file. I can see that password file gets updated when I grant sysdba or change sys password.
However remote logon using sysdba does not work. All settings look OK but no luck

Anyone have more experience on windows that understands what could possibly be happening here?
