Open the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\sqlnet.ora. Is there a line that says:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS) IF this is uncommented, comment it out using a # or change it to:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NONE) Try starting the database service now. This should start up the instance, mount and open the database. As a side effect, you will need a password to "connect internal" after this change, but you shouldnt be using SVRMGR and connect internal anyway.

This is a documented bug.
