Re: The internal password!

Hello world!
The exact procedure w/regards to internal passwords on NT is the following:

1.) create a passwordfile with orapwd73:

    orapwd73 file=<your_filename> password=<your_new_password>

             entries=<#of dbas to register here> 2.) let your Server's registry point to this passwordfile:

    add/modify ORA_PWFILE=<exact path and filename from step 1.)>     add/modify DBA_AUTHORIZATION=<different from BYPASS!>     perform these changes in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE

3.) connect to your database as internal/<your_new_password>
4.) shutdown your database
5.) Set REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE in your INIT.ORA

    (alternatively, use the setting SHARED for Parallel Servers) 6.) Restart your DB

Steps 4.) to 6.) are not needed if you don't want to GRANT SYSDBA/SYSOPER to "normal" DB-users.

The Rest of the sequence works in *any* case on NT, you just have to know the Adminstrator's password.

Hope this helps, RGW
