RocketX,

If the ora_dba group isn’t a login to the Oracle instance, then you are out of luck if you don’t remember your password. I’d suggest you contact the admin for the instance or think about doing a reinstall. Good luck on your exams.

In reply to Demba Ba. Is there an ora_dba group available? If so, is your windows account added as a member of the ora_dba group?

Hie guys…

I recently install Oracle R12 on Windows Xp (vision install- for my study purposes, connected to the Ms loop adapter). The thing is when I try to use the Oracle forms.. they were not opening at all. So ,I tried to run the Ad utility(adadmin) but then my access to it got locked coz I confused the passwords. Now I have to use SQLplus to unlock it..when I log in SQLplus using system / sydba it is rejected, i have tried Scott / tiger stil it does not work now Im stuck..Any help..i would appreciate it!!!
