Hi !
Indeed, I can Alter the Internal password with "alter user sys identified by toto"
Safely, I know the Internal password with which I am connected !

But but me and other french "newsgoupers" have problems ! So :

 login sys/titi is ok

I am connecting with internal/titi

Now I modify the password :

    SQL>password

     Modification of SYS password
      Previous pass: titi
        new : toto

    I log off
    then login with sys/toto => ok

    I log off
    then login with internal/toto => insufficient privileges

    I log off
then login internal/titi => ok !!!

So Internal is still with the previous pass !!!!

More...I have an other problem :
When I create my database, Oracle ask me for Internal passe. I give it : "toto"
At the end of the creation of the database, Oracle tells me the following pass :

    Internal : ****
    SYS : change_on_install
    SYSTEM : manager

but here, Internal <> SYS !!!!
I can't login with Internal/change_on_install !!! I can't login with SYS/toto !!!!!!!!!!

What's the problem ??????

Thanks

Laurent
