At svrmgrl prompt type "connect internal". Once you have done this issue a create user command - "create user <username> identified by <password>;"

then "grant dba to <username>;"

then you can log in as that user with dba privileges.

See the Oracle readme files and administrator docs for info for logging in as sys and system.
