[GIS] Create an enterprise geodatabase – Administrator username and password are required

arcgis-desktoparcmapenterprise-geodatabaseesri-geodatabase

I am trying to create an enterprise geodatabase in oracle 11g, using the create enterprise geodatabase tool in arcmap 10.2.
I have properly installed the oracle client needed and I am able to create a database connection (both as sys and system users).

However, when I am trying to execute the tool create enterprise geodatabase, it fails.
I asks for administrator username and password as shown in the image.

Any ideas about how this could be resolved or debugged ?

You will need the sys password of that Oracle instance in order to run the create enterprise geodatabase. If you have another user with dba privileges you can run this to change the password:

alter user sys identified by NEWPASSWORD;

If you have a database administrator in your organization, they should have the sys password.

Optionally, if you have an Oracle database created you can run the enable enterprise geodatabase tool to create the SDE system tables.
