I'm not familiar with Windows, but in unix environments this usually occurs if :

- your database uses a password file
- and you try to connect as a privileged user (SYS, SYSTEM etc.)
- and the user with which you are trying to connect is not mentioned in

that password file (i.e. has NOT been granted sysdba)

If you had SQL*Plus you could have checked which users have been granted the SYSDBA privilege :

SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
