All of the following solutions assume that you have added the prompt modification code to your $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql file. Personally I think that is playing with fire and keep a private glogin.sql file and the path to it in my $SQLPATH.

Make sure the $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin directory is in your $SQLPATH, then once connected do @glogin to reset your path

or

Once you are reconnected type @?/sqlplus/admin/glogin

or

Create a script called connect.sql, place it in your $SQLPATH, then enter @connect username/password_at_whereever; the text of connect.sql should be:

      connect &1
      @?/sqlplus/admin/glogin

mm...
what if i logged in with SYSTEM first then "conn sys/pswd_at_db"? it's still show SYSTEM @db.

 You can add following lines to your glogin.sql ($ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin  directory) file.

 set heading off
 set term off
 set feedback off
 spool myprompt.sql
 select 'set sqlprompt "' || SYS_CONTEXT ('USERENV', 'session_user') || '@'  || SYS_CONTEXT ('USERENV', 'DB_NAME') || '>"'  from dual
 /
 spool off
 @myprompt.sql
 set heading on
 set term on
 set feedback on

 Alternatively you can create a file with above lines, put that file in bin  and call it anytime to make your prompt$B!D(B

 Cheers,
 Rajesh
