Check out the LISTENER.ORA file in the directory <ORACLE_HOME>\NETWORK\ADMIN (e.g., on my machine, this is the directory C:\ORANT\NETWORK\ADMIN). Somewhere in this file, usually towards the bottom, is the password specification for the database listener. It probably looks something like:
PASSWORDS_LISTENER = (oracle)
Thus, this is telling me that for the database listener named LISTENER, I need to specify the password "oracle" before I can shut down the listener. I would do this by entering "SET PASSWORD oracle". After that, I should be clear to stop it.
If you don't want a password setting, simply comment or remove this line.
