Hi,

This is normal behaviour. If you belong to the ORA_DBA group on Windows (or DBA on UNIX), you don't need a password to connect to a SYSDBA account. In fact, you don't even need to specify a valid username.

Examples:

SQL> connect SYS/crap AS SYSDBA
Connected.

SQL> connect SYS/invalid AS SYSDBA
Connected.

SQL> connect NOBODY/NOPASSWORD AS SYSDBA
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"


Best regards.

Frank
