Hi all,

Oracle 8173/ NT 4.

When I connect as

connect sys/syspwd as sysdba;

it gives error

ORA-01017: Invalid username/password; logon denied

but I am able to connect as

connect sys/syspwd without any problems.

Then, if I try to grant 'sysdba' role to sys as system user, it gives me error.

ORA-01031: Insufficient privileges

Also in V$PWFILE_USERS table, it has foll. rows.

username sysdba sysoper
INTERNAL TRUE TRUE
SYS TRUE TRUE

There is a password file also.

Why I am not able to connect to sys as sysdba?

Thanks in Adv.
