At the prompt:
>sqlplus
username: sys / as sysdba
password: <anything>

now do a alter user sys identifed by <a well formed password>;

This *should* work on your version.

You are able to logon using "/as sysdba" b'coz the OS user is a member of ORA_DBA Group.

If you are not the member you can't logon usin "/as sysdba"

Try it.
