Re: INTERNAL Password problem

Hi;

To solve the problem of missing password, you need to create a new password file as follow:
1- You need to find the old password file usually in $ORACLE_HOME/dba/ and the file name should be some like PWD<sid>.ora this might be hidden file in this directory.

2- delet PWD<sid>.ora the password file.

3- cd to $ORACLE_HOME/bin and type the following:

$ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dba/pwd<sid>.ora password=new_password entries=10

4- this will create a new password file and you will be able to log in svrmgrl.

Note : Check the init<sid>.ora file for remote_login_password= exclusive to be able to grant sysdba to more people than sys and internal, that if you want. By the way this way we have the clause entries in the end of the password file creation.

Good Luck,

Wasim
