It's not the SID, its a dumb message, but here is what you need to do.

It is due to a setting in the init.ora remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE, if you change it to none, you don't need this file.

There is a command in $ORACLE_HOME/bin

run the following command. You can change the password if you wish.

% orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/orapw${ORACLE_SID} password=oracle entries=10
