Go to the init.ora file and comment out the line:
remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive

Try starting your instance again, it should work this time. Then you need to go back to the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory and run orapwd and create your password file for this instance. After that, you can uncomment out the above line in the init.ora and bounce the instance.
