How to increase the number of entries in password file?

If we have to drop the password first, what attention do we need to pay?
Many thanks in advance

To which password file are you referring to?
If it's the one under ORACLE_HOME/dbs, then:
Code:
==> orapwd -h
Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users> force=<y/n> nosysdba=<y/n>

  where
    file - name of password file (mand),
    password - password for SYS (mand),
    entries - maximum number of distinct DBA,
    force - whether to overwrite existing file (opt),
    nosysdba - whether to shut out the SYSDBA logon (opt for Database Vault only).
  There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.
Otherwise if you refer to the password (user) table in the database, just increase the space allocated to the system tablespace.
