OS: WIN2000
DB:10G 1

I want to move(copy) my undo datafile to another location.

As you know I need to do a shutdown,copy to new location, open in mount,alter database .... and backup controlfile to trace.

The problem is when I mount the database I get this "FRIKKEN LASER BEAM ON A SHARP" error
---------------------------------------------------------------
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE=C:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\10GTEST\pfile\INIT.ORA.2
29200611850
ORACLE instance started.
ORA-12528: Message 12528 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA

SQL> CONN SYS/SYS@10GTEST AS SYSDBA
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

-----------------------------------------------------------------
"It seems that this is a common error on 10G if you do a shutdown immediate - startup mount." -http://ora-600.ora-code.com/bbs/View?grp=Oracle_List&msg=2b9bf082b76e7d6f539e1826c6e2b0b4

I really need to startup in MOUNT mode as you cannot take the UNDO offline.

Is there someting I'm

missing here. The sys password is sys!!


Thanks for your assistance in advance
