You've almost certainly got multiple tnsnames.ora files on your pc. The one toad is using is pointing to a different DB to the one sqlplus and sqldeveloper are using.

Add a TNS_ADMIN setting to your registry to specify which tnsnames.ora file you want to use.

In sql developer I specified tnsnames.ora directory attached is the screenshot.
In command prompt I am able to use tnsping to see my database tns entry.

Its the database in amazon cloud.

If it's not tnsnames that's the issue then I can only assuming it's due to the password being case sensitive.

Presumably toad automatically converts it to upper case before sending it to oracle.
