Delete the password file in orant\database\pwd<sid>.ora. You can recreate the password file by issuing this command at the dos prompt. (If the syntax is wrong... try orapwd73 /?)

orapwd73 file=d:\orant\database\pwdorcl.ora password=internal maxusers=5

now you can connect as connect internal/internal after you restart your services.
