Connect Internal User - Password forgot ?

**anandharaj** · 01-23-2002, 07:56 AM

Dear Gurus,

I forgot the "Internal" User Password. The Oracle 805 database is running under win NT os.

Could some one throw me some light on this..?

The default for internal is oracle.

take a copy of the existing orapwd.ora file and delete the original.Then use the orapwd utility and create a orapwd file in the same path as of the original orapwd.ora file.

c:\orapwd file=c:\oracle\orapwd.ora password=newpassword

If I'm not mistaken in 8.0.* you have your internal password written in plain text in %ORACLE_HOME%\database\startSID.bat (or something like that). In that .bat (or is it .cmd?) you have ORADIM command that ammong other things contains PASSWORD paramater - that should be your internal password.

Of course, that is truw only if you have configured your instance to automaticaly start the database when the service is started.
