Pascale,

The easiest way is to delete the service and create it again using oradim80 :

on the top of my head :
oradim80 -delete -sid <sidname>

oradim80 -new -sid <sidname> -intpwd toto -startup auto -pfile init<sid>.ora

I used this procedure the other day and it works fine.

About the oracle password file :
In order to use the oracle password file, you will have to change a setting in the init<sid>.ora. I believe it is something like REMOTE_PASSWORD=SHARE, which has to be changed to 'EXCLUSIVE'. After restarting the instance a passwordfile will be created automatically in the <ORAHOME>\Database directory (called 'pwd<sid>.ora'). Note that this is a HIDDEN file, so use 'DIR /AH' to see it.
