    If 8i, connect as internal for which it won't ask the password
    If 9i connect ' / as sysdba'

    But you should belong to dba group at the OS level.

    Alter user sys identified by superuser;
    Alter user system identified by superboss;

    They never wrote them down here on the Windows instance.

    8i connect internal WANTED a password.

    orapwd util did not work UNTIL I avoided term services and went local on the box then the new password got me in.

    Am I the only one that is very skeptical when I read posts like this?
    This happens a LOT lately, either we have a lot of DBA's that need some Ginko ASAP or I am calling bullsh*t.

    I remember when this place was cool.
