When I try to login to SQL Plus using System/manager and my host I get the following error:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress. When I check my services the listener is started. What else could be the cause?

Thanks

this is happening b'coz the database is not properly mounted/opened. wait for some time, if it is still displaying this, then go to server manager in command promot by typing c:>svrmgrl and press enter
svrmgrl>connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
svrmgrl>shutdown immediate;
svrmgrl>startup;

After I type connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba an press enter I get the following error ORA-01031 insufficient privileges. I also tried system/manager but get the ORA-01033 error. I am using 8.1.5 personnel oracle version.

Thanks

Look into your init.ora file, what is REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE set to?

If it is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE, give this a try:

got to your ORACLE_HOME/Database
rename your password file (pwd<SID>.ora)
then in a dos window use the orapwd utility to recreate the password file.
EX: orapwd file=ORACLE_HOME/database/pwd<SID>.ora password=oracle

then go to sqlplus
SQL> connect sys/oracle as sysdba
SQL> select instance_name, status from v$instance;
this will show what mode your database is in.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE MOUNT/OPEN;
SQL> ALTER USER sys IDENTIFIED BY new_pwd;
