Re: how to start oracle services without password file

Hello,

The process depends on the Oracle version;

For Oracle 7,

Execute NT Instance Manager located in the Oracle For Windows NT Group and edit the instance, there are options to set the passsword and start the database automatically.

for Oracle 8

• Stop the database
• Delete the instance

oradim80 -delete -sid SID

• Recreate the instance

oradim80 -new -sid SID -intpwd <password> -startmode <auto> -pfile <path\initSID.ora>

• Check oracle_home\database\strt<sid>.cmd,

The above script is used by the service to start the database, you may just have to examine the script and the log

oracle_home\rdbmsxx\oradimxx.log

to determine what your problem is !
