SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=sid)(PRESPAWN_ MAX=15)(ORACLE_HOME=oracle_home)(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(POOL_ SIZE=10)(TIMEOUT=30))(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(POOL_ SIZE=5)(TIMEOUT=15)))) 

Add or correct these parameters in the LISTENER.ORA file.

TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password

oracle

TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password
Cause: The security feature of the listener is preventing the intended operation.
Action: Some commands like stopping the listener are only intended to be done by database administrators. A client can only use LSNRCTL to get the status of a listener and the version of the listener software running. The command that the client attempted may not have been appropriate. If a database administrator is attempting the command then use the "set password" command at the LSNRCTL prompt with one of the appropriate passwords in the PASSWORDS_listener_name entry in LISTENER.ORA. If you do not know a password then you are trying to execute an inappropriate command.
