Hi,

Yesterday i've installed 10g in my personal machine.

While installation provided the username/password.

Once after the completion of installaion enterprise manager was launched and i tried to log-in as Normal, SYSDBA,SYSOPER with the username/password i provided during the installaion.

But it refused to log me in. Sad

Is there any way to recover my password. Confused

I've installed standard version.

If no ways to recover the password i have no other option other than to deinstall and reinstall oracle. Embarassed

Is it possible to get back my password.

You can log into the database with sqlplus using an OS user that is in the DBA Operating system group (which the user you installed oracle with should be) without an password.

sqlplus /nolog

and then

connect / as sysdba

Then you can change the password with the alter user statement

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for you reply. Smile

I did as you told and it works.

I tried to locate the userid i provided created while installation as

select * from all_users;

but i'm unable to get the one i created. Confused

Any suggestions on this ? Cool

Either you didn't create it or you create it in another database than you are now searching.
