Oracle Platform:
Win NT 4 with Oracle 8.02

My client lost sys/internal password or any login/password with DBA privilege. They only have NT administrator account for that server, which do not have access to that oracle database. They also have two end user accounts which do not sufficient privilege to perform any DBA function. They need to shutdown the instance to perform the cold backup. Is there any way I can reset sys or internal password in order to shutdown database?

Help!!!

remove/rename your password file (ORACLE_HOMEDatabasePWD<sid>.ora) and recreate with the ORAPWD utility.

If they login as OS user with ORA_DBA group, they don't need INTERNAL password. They can connect w/o password.

Then changing the SYS password is simple:

SVRMGRL> ALTER USER sys IDENTIFIED BY <new_pass>;

Hope that helps,

No. They don't have OS user with ORA_DBA group. NT admin only created me a NT OS login with administrator privilege on NT OS. But it is nothing to do with Oracle DBA priviledge.
