SYS

:-
The
SYS

The password of any user who has
SYS*
admin privileges (SYSDBA
,SYSOPER
,SYSASM
,SYSBACKUP
,SYSDG
,SYSKM
) cannot be changed. If you try, the password change operation fails with "ORA-01999: password file cannot be updated in SHARED mode." -

SYS*
admin privileges (SYSDBA
,SYSOPER
,SYSASM
,SYSBACKUP

tonone
