Re: Lost Password problem

Thanks for the suggestion.

I can set the password for the user SYS successfully (using your instructions), though it still will not allow me to reach the Oracle Management Server (it claims I have incorrect credentials). Is it possible to export the schema directly from SQL rather than through the export tool found in the Database Manager Console?

Thanks for your help,

MThomas
