Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: forgotten sys password
can you log onto the Unix account oracle ( su from root if you have to)
then, run the following (make sure that ORACLE_SID points to the right instance):
svrmgrl
at the prompt type connect internal
this will log you onto that database as sys. You can then run
alter user sys identified by <whatever you want>;
