I don't understand what you have or have not.
Do you have a pfile?
Do you have a spfile?
Do you have a pfile for your current SID or another one?
Same question for spfile.

Copy and paste the error you got, don't just describe it.

Read and follow OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially what is said about IM speak.
Always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).
