DBA's,

I have 8.1.5 running on NT. My question is whenever I use internal to connect in svrmgr (same server), Oracle does not prompt me for a password. Also the same with internal as sysdba.

This is a test database and I have created and deleted DB's so many times. When I query V$pwfile_users, it lists sys and internal.

My question is does pw file authent the default and if so why dont i get the prompt to enter the password?

Thanks,
Nizar
