Database: > ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied startup

[Former Member]

I am installing ECC 6.0

At the step of "start instance" I have the above error.

I did follow the trick in following topic:

that I change identification of service user to " identified by externally".

But the error keep occurring.

One thing I did is that I already change the password of user SAP<SID> in Oracle.

Does it contribute to this problem.

Hi Truong,

Can you change back the password for SAP<SID> in Oracle? To the same password you used before during initial part of your sap installation. Let me know the result after.

Thanks,

I don't know the password of SAP<SID> before I changed, but then I search and test with SAPR3, SAP...

SAP is the right default password and I can proceed.

But at the step of checking DDIC password, the system could not proceed, saying DDIC user does not exist or password is wrong.

I think my installation has too much errors and decided to install again.

Before this step, I have problem with import load, at SAPView, saying some table does not exist.

I had to create table manually from DDL of a live 4.7 instance to proceed.

Now I am doing, not sure the ABAP loading has problem of lacking table or not.

So upset with SAPInst, it does not work consistently.

Thanks for your suggestion.
