Personal edition of Oracle 8i

Assuming you did the default/typical install then you should connect to scott/tiger_at_SID first of all. SID is the name you gave your database when you created it.

If that doesn't get you in, you may find that the listener and/or the database service(s) are not running. Check for Oracle*TNSListener and OracleServiceSID are both started. (You might like to set the others to manual and stopped too - you won't need them for a while :o))

Hi,

I realise this question has come up before but am still having problems solving it.

Have just installed the personal edition of oracle 8i on win2000 server. Created a database on install and am trying to connect using sqlplus. Have
tried the passwords given during creation, 'change_on_install' and 'manager'
with the name of the database I created, but am having no luck...

any suggestions???
