 It is stated that WinNT administrators are the default administrators to Oracle & no password is required for their login to Oracle but it is not working. even though i have made WinNT administrators as SYSDBA

Here are few quick steps to setup external user on NT. I am assuming you are not using Domain Prefixing.
1.Check your SQLNET.ORA and make sure it has following entry

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS)

2. Configure the clients to login to the Windows NT domain to which that Win NT server belongs to, or a Windows NT domain that trusts the domain.

3. Verify the parameter OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX in v$parameter. Connect as sys or system.

SQL> SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'os_authent_prefix';

VALUE
------------
OPS$

OPS$ is the default value. But it can be changed by setting os_authent_prefix parameter in init.ora file to some thing else. Like "XYZ”. Restart the database if you are changing this value.

If you logon as SCOTT than your OS authentication will be OPS$SCOTT.

Here I am assuming that you have default OPS$ value.

4. Create an external user.

SQL> CONNECT SYSTEM/MANAGER

SQL> CREATE USER <OPS$>USERNAME IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY
DEFAULT TABLESPACE USER_DATA
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMPORARY_DATA;

5. Grant any privileges or roles to this user account as follows :

SQL> GRANT CONNECT TO <OPS$>USERNAME;
SQL> GRANT RESOURCE TO <OPS$>USERNAME;


6. Connect from SQL*Plus :

CONNECT /

or

CONNECT /@<service name>

where <service name> identifies the database alias in the "tnsnames.ora".


Hope this works for you.

Regards,
Vigyan
