My oracle 9i database could not be opened automatically, it always stopped at the mounting phase stating error:
ORA-01991: Invalid password file [database path]\PWDxxx.ORA
This occurs after i have changed the admin password at my main database server but later i replaced the whole database folder from backup server (with old pwd).
Please help.
