No password for the SYS user

I was handed to our production database server Oracle 11 g R2 and said to manage by management. Obviously a DBA experienced / qualified isn't in the budget this year and it gives me the opportunity to learn SQL and Oracle 11 g.

That being said, I noticed that when I try to connect to my instance target (SID = ide) as SYS, there is no request to enter the password for the SYS. I am basically poured directly into the database with SYS privleges.
[oracle@db1 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

As you can see I was connected as user 'oracle' OS on Linux and was never invited to no password. I was wondering if this is normal in the world of database Oracle or disapproved and recommended that change some how. Can you guys please explain? I haven't used at all before Oracle so I don't know if it's good, but looks bad for me to a point of safety. Afraid I will break 11g if I fix this too.

Thanks for the clarification!

Yes, "will not work" means must obtain a password to connect.

Please mark the answer as being correct.

  • What are the consequences of the change of password for the admin user in golden gate?

    Hello

    I just picked up during surgery and allows us to replicate door data of gold. Unfortunately, the password for the user that has been created in the database for the Golden Gate has been lost.

    At the present time, processes are added and I was trying to connect but it fails with name of user and password invalid.

    I want to change it. Do I need to apply this new password anywhere after changing?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Not a lot of consequences, if you have changed the password where you had used.

    1. you must change the password of user goldengate in parameter files where ever you had mentioned, as the extract file etc..,.

    2. If you used the password encrypted, you must re-create the encryption password.

    3. If you used a user Alias id, then you must change this too.

  • Cannot change or remove the password for the account.

    Hi - I want to change my user account password, but this is impossible. I'm running Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 with all updates.

    My user account is the original, was created to windows install with administrator privileges.

    When I change my password, it accepts my old password and the new successfully, indicates that the password has been changed and indeed accepts the new password when you log back.

    But if I restart or turn off the PC, he returned to the old password, but still remember the new password hint. I tried to remove the password, and Vista indicates that the password is deleted, but after it is restarted the old password is back in force once again.

    It starts to drive me crazy, and I searched all over the internet, but could not find a similar problem elsewhere, not to mention a solution.

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi HoverDonkey

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.

    You have another user, you can sign up with?  If this isn't the case, create another user and log in as this user.

    Change the password for the new user, restart and the connection as long as the new user.  Were you able to login with the new password?
    If Yes, then there is a problem with 'your' user account, possible corruption.  Here is a link on how to fix a corrupted profile (user account) - Please post back and let us know if it helped to solve the problem - thank you

  • First Cisco VIEW - change the password for the admin GUI of CLI

    Hello

    We had someone install an instance of VIEW with the Vmware EGG file, but it seems that they never take the GUI password (admin) during the installation phase.

    Does anyone know the process to re-run the configuration script or to change the password for the admin of the SSH session, so we are able to connect to the GUI?

    Thank you

    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    Sorry, that I was not able to respond until the EGG has been redeployed, however, it is possible to change the CLI from the server admin password.

    1 SSH on the server VIEW

    2 cd to/usr/local/cisco/dcm/fm/bin

    3 «./addUser.sh--help' to view the syntax of the command.

    The syntax for the addUser.sh script is «./addUser.sh .  The adduser script to add new accounts to users or change the password for the existing user accounts.

    4. to change the admin password, the command should look like this,

    «./adduser.sh admin .

    If you have forgotten the password for the database, you can find it in the file, usr/local/cisco/dcm/jboss-as.7.2.0-Final/standalone/conf/postgres.cfg.xml.  Use the 'cat /usr/local/cisco/dcm/jboss-as.7.2.0-Final/standalone/conf/postgres.cfg.xml' command to print the contents of the file to the screen.

  • Default password for the root has not been changed... but there.

    I have a problem with a server ESXi in VCenter which reported that following:

    Configuration problems

    The default password for the root user has not changed.

    However, on the server, we changed the default password to our standard from the console. Is there something that needs to be done to update VCenter to check or something? It marks the host as a warning so it is certainly misleading people.


    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the Forums!

    If the ESXi host is empty, a reboot will probably clear the message.  In addition, to restart the management agents would probably erase as well.

    The problem is that you have specified a different page than the page of connection (due to which your login page used the builtin page). During the passage of the authentication, you must specify that 101 is indeed your login page (disabled by default)

    Here's a screenshot of it.

    So, in your workspace, choose current change, choose the authentication name and when you get to this screen tick the checkbox and submit. You should be prompted for your login page (which corresponds to the theme). This should solve the problem.
