Caveat emptor: They are not always right! Does your database still run and have not problems? Then just forget recreating the system user. If not, and it is trashed, try rerunning the catalog scripts which should not make thing worse or at best create a new database and import the other users, not sys or system.

If you have another same flavor DB with the SYSTEM schema = intact you could try to use this. If it is created when the cat*.sql scripts = are run you could just rerun them.

Just recreate it. You don't actually even need SYSTEM. Though in 9i+, SYSTEM gets more privileges than are given by simply granting the DBA role. Of coures, if SYSTEM owned data objects, you have a problem. But of course, that was probably not the case.
