    whatever password you type Oracle allows you to log in

    Why ?????
    When you connect as SYSDBA privilege, you are connecting as SYS schema and not the schema associated with your username. And the schema SYS will accept any password if your OS username, through which you are logged into the machine, belongs to DBA(unix) or ORA_DBA(windows) group on the machine where Oracle database is installed.
