Define 'not working'. If you follow the docs you wont have any problems.
The fact you need to use
connect sys/password_at_sid as sysdba
demonstrates
- either you are not using the user oracle to start the database - or you have a faulty install, because in a correct install connect / as sysdba
should be sufficient to get in and NO need to hardcode any password.
