Hi All

Platform:Windows Server 2003
DB: 10.2.0.5.0/Single instance


While creating the em repository I get the following:
2010-aug-23 14:18:05 oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform
INFO: This operation is being logged at C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\emca\DWDEV\emca_2010-08-23_02-17-46-PM.log.
2010-aug-23 14:18:06 oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform
ALLVARLIG: Password file may be missing or configured incorrectly.
Refer to the log file at C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\emca\DWDEV\emca_2010-08-23_02-17-46-PM.log for more details.
Could not complete the configuration. Refer to the log file at C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\emca\DWDEV\emca_2010-08-23_02-17-46
-PM.log for more details.

Its clear what the problem is, I have tried to recreate the password file but I still get the same error.

my steps
1. shutdown the instance
2. orapwd file=orapwDWDEV password=mypassword entries=10
3. startup

One thing I wonder is the name of the passwordfile, I saw in one post that the name should be orapw<sid>, I noticed that he old name
was PWD<SID>. What controls the name (apart from the sid) ?

Any ideas how to handle this is appreciated.

Thanks
Magnus
