How to change the SYS password

Hi,

I just installed a oracle 10g, I have the system userid and password but I don't have sys's password(maybe I forgot, and the default pw change_on_install did not work).

how to change the sys password without knowing the old password.

Thanks!

do you know the 'system' password or another with dba privs.
then alter the sys password.

If you are connected to the database server box, then you can connect to the database using OS authentication, typing anyting as sys password will work.

connect sys/junk as sysdba

then change the password.

It works.

Thank you.
