Can't login as SYS user from SQL Developer - Oracle 11g

Problem:

Couldn't login as SYS user to Oracle 11g Database through SQL Developer.
But I could log in through SQLPLUS with the same username & password.
Tried several times through SQL developer(By selecting right options) but only SYS user seems to have this problem.

Solution:

1.Login the remote server and login as sys/123 as sysdba.(Or whatever your password)
2.Reset the password ( alter user sys identified by 123;)(With your prefered password)
3.Relogin the oracle as sys.

Now I could log in to the SQL developer through SYS user successfully.I know it's strange..but it worked!

If you double click on the Services icon in Control Panel, you will see all the services that are available to the machine. If a machine has a db running on it, you will see a service by the name of OracleService(SID) with a manual or automatic startup type. If the startup is set to automatic, the db will shutdown/startup whenever the machine is restarted, else you will have to shutdown/startup manually.  So you have to use oradim only when you create a database without using the Database Configuration Assistant. You have to use Oradim to create services if you created the database manually.   Example of Oradim to create a service for an 9i database: Create an instance by specifying the following options: (type at comma...
