Hi List, I have recently got the handover of Some Production oracle 9i Database. I want to change the SYS password. i used orapwd utility and changed password from P1 to P2 but i am able to connect to sys by both password that is P1(old) as well as P2(new) As per Metalink the new password will be in effect after bouncing the db. I cant bounce the database but i want that no one should be able to login with old password that is P1. How can i do this..My remote _login_ password file is set to exclusive........
