Looks like the database was not shut down properly. Do the following.

1. startup (normal)
2. shutdown immediate
3. change the init.ora file
3. startup nomount ...and then the steps shown above.

Here are the details for errors:
00265, 00000, "instance recovery required, cannot set ARCHIVELOG mode"
// *Cause: The database either crashed or was shutdown with the ABORT
// option. Media recovery cannot be enabled because the online
// logs may not be sufficient to recover the current datafiles.
// *Action: Open the database and then enter the SHUTDOWN command with the
// NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option.
