Re: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Thx all for the inputs/suggestions. I found out that there is a way to get into it & I can stop & start & do some other stuffs in db w/o any problems. However, I still can't find out why it can't connect / as sysdba. I'd love to resolve why I can't do it.

 $ sqlplus /nolog
