The password file, should be in the location $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and should
by default be named orapw<SID>. So your database will be masdev1 given
the above.
At work, I keep my init<SID>.ora, spfile<SID>.ora and orapw<SID> files
in a standard location and sym-link them as follows:
cd /srv/<APP>/oradata/<SID>/pfile
ln -s `pwd`/orapw<SID> $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw<SID>
Obviously replacing <SID> with the appropriate database SID.
