Re: I can't connect as SYSDBA

Hi Juha,

I'm not entirely sure how you're attempting to login so I'm assuming you're trying to logon as sys/password as sysdba ?

If so, did you create a password file (orapwd) ? If so, do you remember the value of the password=value parameter. If not you'll be cursing as that (like I say I think) is the password you're after.

If I've described the scenario correctly, you can either login using O/S authentication (connect / as sysdba) but you need to be an authenticated user on the O/S (such as a member of dba group) or you can delete and recreate the password file (this time taking note of the password parameter).

Get in there mate
