Dear members:

I have trouble to logon sqlplus. one dbforum member said that my oralce instance doesn't start.

I used following command in the command line prompt:

  1. c:\oracle\ora92\bin sqlplus / nolog
  2. sql> conn sys/change_on_install as sysdba ( it showed a message

"connected to an idle instance")

c) sql> startup

then the following error message showed up

ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters

LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 'C:\ORACLE\ORA92 \DATABASE\INITJSHU03.ORA' jshu03 is the name i gave to database (global)

In the ORAdim log it has following error recorded

ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters

LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 'C:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\INITJSHU03.ORA' Could someone give me some ideas how to fix this problem? The bad thing is that I forget the password for my database jshu03. Do i need to reinstall Oracle9i from the begining??

If you have time please help me, Thanks!
