Hi all,
I'm trying to create a new database manually on WinNT. I have created init$ORACLE_SID.ora file
and started up (with nomount) the database. Then I issue the CREATE DATABASE commands... everything seems going fine (control files and redo logs are created) but in the end I get an error

ORA-01501 CREATE DATABASE FAILED
ORA-01991 File password 'C:\oracle\ora81\database\PWDtestdb.ORA' not valid

"testdb" is the db I have created with Oracle installation. So it seems that it's pointing to the wrong password file. How can I direct it to the password
file I have created (with orapwd utility) ? Thanks a lot
