Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> "ORACLE" won't go away as password for INTERNAL!!!
Hi,
I am running Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows 2000 server (SP/1).
I have noticed that no matter what I do, the default password for Internal (i.e. "oracle") is *always* valid.
Following is what I have tried:
alter user sys identified by syssecret
<I stopped the Oracle before I deleted and recreated the password file using
orapwd. >
orapwd file=pwdorcl.ora password=intsecret entries=5
Following is what happens after above commands...
Password "syssecret" is valid for user Sys.
--what follows is realy interesting--
Password "syssecret" is valid for user Internal. *AND*
Password "intsecret" is valid for user Internal. *AND*
***** Password "oracle" is valid for user Internal.
Of the last three, Internal accepting Sys' password makes sense as Sys and Internal are supposed to share the password. But, HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS "oracle" PASSWORD?
Thanks and Regards,
Nasir.
