 I am trying to log into SQLPLus , but I get the following  ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.  However I am  not connecting through the listener. 

I am using the 

set oracle_sid= mySID 
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>sqlplus /nolog
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Oct 14 11:02:38 2013

SQL> conn sys/syspswd  as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error


How can I get into the db? 

Howdy, Stranger!
