Password file only need for remote connect to the database as sysdba
sqlplus sys/passwordHere@yourdatabase as sysdba
You can try to recreate the password file:
orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwYourdatabase entries=5 force=y
If you not specify which instance you try to connect to (RAC) then remember
create password file the same at ALL nodes (or copy to other node)
Good luck.

Subject: Created new 12C Release 2 databases SYS@db as sysdba doesn't work
We manually created or migrated existing databases in these new environments
on Solaris 11 and upgraded them to 12C. We cannot get the sys account to
work properly. We are getting invalid userid/password. We have a password
file, and REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to exclusive. We have tried
mixed case, lower case, uppercase. Other accounts other than sys can
connect using userid/password@12cdatabase. sys@12cdatabase as sysdba
does not work. Any ideas? We have a lot of stumped dba's here. We did
find a note relating that deep packet inspection might cause this. We do
have a ticket in but haven't heard anything back. We're on a very tight
deadline to get all these systems working.
