Oracle Solution for Error ora-09941

ORA-09941: Version of orapasswd or installer is older than file.

What triggered the Error:

The version of orapasswd or installer that is being run is older than that of the ORACLE password file. Since the file version is only changed when the format is changed, this error means that the executable is using a different format than that with which the file was created.

What should we do to fix it:

Run a version of the installer or orapasswd whose version is the same or later than that of the file.
