Hi!

I am new to oracle so this question might sounds easy. When I installed oracle I set up passwords for SYS and SYSTEM accounts. When I start sqlplus from command line and try to log in using SYS it gives me the error messages:
SP2-0306: Invalid option.
Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}] where <logon> ::= <username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | / Enter user-name:

I can however use sys account to log in to database management page. Also, when I click on iSQLPlus connection from the database management page I am not able to log in using SYS or SYSTEM account.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
