While starting database error- ORA-01589:must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS

Hi ,

I have a test database and while I tried to open the test database I have got following error.

SQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 57170424 bytes
Fixed Size 453112 bytes
Variable Size 54525952 bytes
Database Buffers 2048000 bytes
Redo Buffers 143360 bytes
Database mounted.
ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open

I then tried running "Alter database open RESET LOGS" but then get : ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01195: online backup of file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'D:\ORACLE9I\DATABASE\ORADATA\MDW\SYSTEM.DBF'

Then i tried

SQL> recover database using backup controlfile;
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01190: controlfile or data file 3 is from before the last RESETLOGS
ORA-01110: data file 3: 'D:\ORACLE9I\DATABASE\ORADATA\MDW\MDW_DATA.DBF'

I am still unable to recover the database. Please help me ....
