    Internal is another user not same as sys , once you would like to change it you have to delete using oradim80 in winnt
    and then create new one.

    I thought that ORADIM is for creating/deleting instance/services and RAPWD for changing internal passwords.

    Hi Anuj

    Create password file by using ORAPWD utility.
    The password you specify while creating pwd file will be password for the internal and sysdba user.

    Neither internal nor sysdba is a user. Internal for example is an alias for sys.

    You have to run the ORAPWD Utility to change the password but this is not sufficient you also have to do the following

    Go To
    start >> programs >> Administrative Tools >> User Manager For Domain

    You will have a group i.e ORA_DBA you just Remove its all member and see will it work or not?

    It should work.

    Neither internal nor sysdba is a user. Internal for example is an alias for sys.
    Excerpt from
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/...6/dba.htm#1207

    For example, the following command creates a password file named ACCT.PWD that allows up to 30 privileged users with different passwords. The file is initially created with the password SECRET for users connecting as SYSOPER or SYSDBA:

    ORAPWD FILE=acct.pwd PASSWORD=secret ENTRIES=30

    Following are descriptions of the parameters in the ORAPWD utility.
    ---------------
    --------------
    PASSWORD
    This parameter sets the password for SYSOPER and SYSDBA. If you issue the ALTER USER statement to change the password after connecting to the database, both the password stored in the data dictionary and the password stored in the password file are updated. The INTERNAL user is supported for backwards compatibility only. This parameter is mandatory.

    What say you Julian?

    I would say again the same: Internal is an alias for SYS, SYSDBA and SYSOPER are previligies, not users.
