"Alter user sys identified by" not working

$

Hello everyone!

First of all, and following the forum guidelines (this is my first post :p ), I use:

Windows 7 x64
Oracle Enterprise 11g R2 x32

I have some basic experience with SQL Server and MySQL (more with MySQL). Today I started working with Oracle, and I've been bumping a lot on the way.

The problem I'm having now is that, for some reason, I can't connect to any sys user (sysdba or sysoper). Probably I made a mistake writing the password when creating the database, but I'm not sure, so I'm trying to change it.

I've been trying, as some searches had led me to try, to use

Code:

sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
alter user sys identified by new_pass

And it seems to work. I mean, it says "User altered". However, I still can't log in sqlplus with the new password. It's a little weird, since I can connect to "sysman" with my original password, but it doesn't have the privileges I need.

I'd appreciate any help I could get, and I thank you beforehand.
