Hi,
This is normal behaviour. If you belong to the ORA_DBA group on Windows (or DBA on UNIX), you don't need a password to connect to a SYSDBA account. In fact, you don't even need to specify a valid username.
Examples:
SQL> connect SYS/crap AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL> connect SYS/invalid AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL> connect NOBODY/NOPASSWORD AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"
Best regards.
Frank
