Re: svrmgrl's passwd

hi

log into sqlplus and set the sys password to something new, this will then be the same password required for the user "INTERNAL". The only time its a different password to SYS is on install, when INTERNAL is set to oracle and SYS is set to change_on_install.

Else if you know the the SYS password run orapwd as follows orapwd filename=[location] password=[sys password]
