Mukesh,

Make sure you are not doing that:
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

You are going to get an error for sure. Instead do either:

$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba
or
$ sqlplus ' / as sysdba'

Next time list the exact syntax of the commands you are trying to run an das Sybrand pointed out your OS and DB version.

Hope that helps,
