Have you tried standard passwords for SYS/SYSTEM users?
SYS would be 'change_on_install' and SYSTEM should be 'manager'.
If you success you can change any user password with alter user command.
If you lost both sys/system passwords there is a way to recreate
password file from a command line.
The program was called 'ORAPWD.EXE' and i'm not sure if it still exists
under 9i database.
