Question

Unable to login as SYS after changing its pwd

Asked by: Aparna_S

Hi All,

I modified the password of SYS user using another user account with DBA role. However, when i try to login using SYS as SYSDBA, i get the error message "ORA-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper".

I had typed the following in SQLPLUSW prompt:

connect sys@<<connecstring>>/<<pwd>> as sysdba

Am i making a mistake somewhere ? Kindly respond at the earliest, as I need to login as SYS user to change a few settings.

Thanks & Regards,
Aparna S.

Correct syntax is

connect sys/<<pwd>>@<<connecstring>> as sysdba

 

by: Aparna_SPosted on 2004-07-04 at 20:30:29ID: 11470529

Hi,

Thanks. I tried out this also. However, this time, I got the message "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges"

Regards,
Aparna S.

Delete your password file and recreate it :

orapwd file=full/path/to/password/file password=your_pass entries=2

if you have only 2 distinct DBA and OPERs

Login as the user who installed Oracle or belongs to the DBA group.
try to connect so:

SQL>connect / as sysdba

If you are still using 8i use server manager:
svrmgr> connect internal

 

by: BobMcPosted on 2004-07-16 at 15:45:14ID: 11572742

as ploubier states, you will need to recreate your password file.

If youre using a variant of windows, a common gotcha is to do this while the database services are still running, in which case it wont work! You need to stop them first.

Sometimes helps to comment a line in sqlnet.ora

.... AUTHENTIFICATION=(NFS)

or to set this to =(NONE).

Please check the correct parameter  because I am at home now and have no Oracle.

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for all your responses. I am extremely sorry for not acknowledging your posts. the password file was not okay. I am able to login as sys by logging into Solaris as the oracle installation user. I'll re-create the password file and in case of any further problems, will trouble you all.
Thanks once again for all your timely and some wonderful tips.

Regards,
Aparna S.
