I have a default 8.0 installation with an ORCL sid. I ned to create multiple new databases/sid's. I'm having a problem with the whole damn process. I guess you can tell I'm a newby at Oracle.

If I connect "sys as sysdba", it seems I don't have the right password!!?? :-(
but if I connect as sys/normal I get in.

Totally confusing!!! Any Ideas.

Thanks Michael.
