Re: oracle password file?

oracle password ae sotred internally in the dictionnary. if you want, you can try to check sys and system account with the standard password . check also the internal user but I guest you dont have is password

I remember that an undocument way to connect to Oracle was possible with sqlplus without the knowledge of the user password but I dont have the information here.
