Re: A basic stupid question

I guess I didn't give enough information. This is an installation of the demo version. It's on my personal network at home. I'm trying to learn Orcale. The only documentation is the online docs. In the Ms-SQL the system installs with a sys admin user with the name sa and no password as a default. What does Oracle do? What username and password do I use to get started? I looked through the postings and have seen no reference to the subject. If it is in there, then I am sorry for bothering the group, but I don't see it.
