Use oracle ORAPWD utility to change password in orapw<SID>:
$ orapwd
Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users>
where
file - name of password file (mand),
password - password for SYS and INTERNAL (mand),
entries - maximum number of distinct DBA and OPERs (opt),
There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.
$ pwd
/d_ora_sys/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/dbs
