HI ,
I am trying to change the password of the sys user from sys to syssys. After executing scucessful alter user command I log off from oracle and try to connect using Sys user with sys password as sysdba. It logs into the user, Why it is so?
Even it accepts any letter to login to the account.
What change Do I make to keep the changes and implement the password access?

Thank you.

If your OS user belongs to the "dba" group on Unix, or the "ORA_DBA" (ORA_sid_DBA) group on Windows, you can connect with any password. To confirm try this:

CONNECT SYS/CRAP AS SYSDBA
