I don't know if it works, but with Oracle7 it was possible to bypass the internal password when logged in at the console.

You have go to into the registry, though:

Start | Run | regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE Create a new value of string type:
DBA_SID_AUTHORIZATION [don't enter "SID", enter the SID of your local instance.]

And enter the value: BYPASS

Reboot.

This should let you in.

Please let me know if it still works with 8i, I haven't tried it.

        Hi all,

        In Windows NT, how to disable the password prompt when
        login as internal through svrmgrl.

        I read an article in Metalink.  The solution is for
        Unix which I don't see useful to my case.  

        I checked all the sqlnet.ora files and all of them
        comment out SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES.

        Suggestion?

        Thanks, Janet
