Hi
Friend i created a database with password file authentication to some users. But unfortunately the password file is deleted while database is still mounted.
Now I am unable to authenticate any user using password file even after creating new password file. I have set remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive(for ur information)
Please help me.
Is there way to solve this problem?

Hi,

just restart your Oracle Services.
net stop OracleService<SID>
....
net start OracleService<SID>

Hi Taj
Thanks for ur reply.
I do not know "net stop Oracle_Service<sid>" like command, what it does. when i execute these commands it gives its options help list on my macine.
what it does? Do u want me to stop all services on my machine which start with oracle or ora? if yes please give me a command which does that.
I try google to searh for a solution to stop the database, i found
STEPS: i> lsnrctl stop listener ii> dbshut ( i have tried this but still i am unable to create the user with sysdba priviledge) the error is " passwordfile missing or disabled
Please help

HI
Thanks for ur reply.
My Machine is Red Hat Linux ES.
One more thing is that after deleting my old passwordfile, i created the new one with different name but in the same location
does this cause any problem.Because i forget the name of old password file, does this passwordfile uses any environment variable to check the location of file?
Please help

regards
Abood

i created the new one with different name but in the same location

Yes , passwordfile name must be like >>> pwd<SID>.ORA<<<
eg: my database name is ORCL then my password file is >>>PWDORCL.ORA<<<
and exists in $ORACLE_HOME/db_1/dbs folder.

Hi
Thank you for ur reply.
Yes Taj, I have corrected the file name, infact i have created a brand new one in the form "pwd<sid>.ora" in $ORACLE_HOEM/dbs.
and set remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive.
But still it gives same error i.e. "passwordfile is missing or disabled" when i give the following command
SQL>GRANT SYSDBA TO SCOTT;

PLEASE HELP

Hi Taj
I get it, Thanks for ur all replies.

Actually, the name of passwordfile on windows must be pwd<sid>.ora
But on unix system( like mine, Linux) it is "orapw<sid>"

Thanks
