I found a document where it says there I have to change the passwords after installation (get asked for the sys password and so) but I wasn't asked for that. With 'doesn't work' I meant that I cannont login as usual with Oracle 8i - the reason is the password I get asked every time the databses starts and I don't know which password I should use or how I can manually change it (in which file).

If you are using 9i and you just installed it ... unless you have made a change try logging on as either:

/ AS SYSDBA (leave password blank)
or
SYSTEM with password manager

Then create a user for your development work.

SELECT tablespace_name
FROM dba_tablespaces
WHERE tablespace_name NOT IN ('SYSTEM', 'UNDO', 'RBS', 'TEMP');

CREATE USER <user_name>
IDENTIFIED BY <password>
DEFAULT TABLESPACE <from above query>
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON <tablespace name from above query>;

GRANT CONNECT TO <user_name>;

Then log on as your new user.
