Re: personal db password during startup

That's the same problem I'm having and when I installed the database I got a message that 'change_on_install was the default password and 'system', 'manager' the default l/p to enter the database. I could mount the db fine until I installed "Forms & Reports 6i" at which time it started asking me for a password when I try to mount the db. I tried 'change_on_install' but it will not work for some reason.
