Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

Question

I had my database working for over a year since yesterday. Out of sudden, I am no longer able to connect.

Error I am getting is:

Status : Failure -Test failed: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

Oracle 11.2 Windows 7

Both db and the listener are up and running. Port 1521 is opened.

C:\Apps\Oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>netstat -a -n -o| findstr "1521"
  TCP    127.0.0.1:1521         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       2412

trying to log in via sqlplus
