Use the ORAPWD.EXE utility and create a password file:

Assume your DB name is test:

Find any files named testpwd.ora.
Delete these file(s)
Find orapwd.exe and, at the command line:

c:\oracle\ora92\bin> orapwd file=testpwd.ora password=ginger

no spaces before or after the=signs.

The sys as sysdba password will now be ginger.

In the "User Name:" field of the SQL*Plus login screen, type:

sys/ginger_at_test as sysdba

of course substituting the name of your DB and your own password.
