Your last sentence is grammatically incorrect and hence incomprehensible.
Do you mean
'The instance stops working'
or
'The instance doesn't work any more' (meaning: I'm unable to start it) The method you quote shouldn't be applied on a live database.

Officially oradim -edit should be sufficient, this can be applied on a live database.

A different approach is using the orapwd utility.
