Oracle Database Discussions

I have searched google for 4 hours, now I am certain:

"May be I am the only one in the world who have this problem."

I installed Oracle 10g Express on my Debian5.

I need to reset password for SYS/SYSTEM users

So I checked online tutorial says I need to use a utility called "orapwd" to recreate a password file.

Everything is smooth since now.

When I finally find this "orapwd" utility. I type "orapwd" as a root user. Terminal replies "orapwd command not found".

I then discovered the orapwd is some kind of x-execute file. After an extensive search on google I concluded that this kind of file is inexecutable.

Many tutorials I read online specify that the "orapwd" is actually "orapwd.exe", but on my Debian system it is "orapwd" with no extension.

Any suggestion is welcome.



ps: is there anyway I can reset password without going through "orapwd" s*t.
