I guess you can change the password if you want using orapwd utility.
First shutdown the db using O/S authentication .
like sqlplus "/as sysdba"..then orapwd and change the password for sys ..
then restart the db and change password for system..

If you database is under UNIX. You can login as any user that belong to DBA group and sqlplus " / as sysdba" will let you login in without any password. Then you can use:

alter use sys identified by password;
to change it. You don't need to shutdown the database and better not touch the password file.

There is no way to get the info what the password is from the database. You can only change it or hope it is document somewhere.
