Dear All,

I've created a oracle password file as so:-

[oracle@zog]/data/oracle/10g/dbs>orapwd file=zogpwd password=oracle entries=50;


[oracle@zog]/data/oracle/10g/dbs>ls -ltr zogpwd
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 7680 Mar 14 17:13 zogpwd

SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE

BUT I get the following error!!!

SQL> GRANT sysdba TO backup_admin
2 /
GRANT sysdba TO backup_admin
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01994: GRANT failed: password file missing or disabled

any ideas anyone?

Your file= name is wrong. The password file's name should be orapw$ORACLE_SID on Unix and PWD%ORACLE_SID%.ora on Windows. Try:

orapwd file=/data/oracle/10g/dbs/orapwzog password=oracle entries=50
