Lots of questions ... no answer possible yet.

Who owns the Oracle 8.0.5 installation? Did you follow the instructions and set up oinstall and dba groups, and the oracle user, etc?

Are you trying to get in using SVRMGRL or SQL*Plus.

Is the password file exclusive or shared?

What have you done (complete description and error messages)?

Your descriptions are so general as to have little meaning. And ... why are you in the year 2003 installing software developed in the last millenium?
