if you have sysdba authority you might be able to change the 'INTERNAL'
password in a way similar to this:

alter user internal identified by values 'tehs00k';

and then connect using 'tehs00k' as password, i never tried it with the user INTERNAL, but it's worth a try. please post the current environment as it may helping finding some other way.
anyway, couldnt you just drop the tablespaces ? or even opening the controlfiles in an editor?
