Ok.

I will not make any more attempts at this

1- I assume the database HAS been created. If not then you will need firs to issue a oradim command with the -create option (do a oradim without anything else to see the options).

2- If after step 1 is completely done you are still asked for a password use either "oracle" or "change_on_install" or "manager"

3- If 1 and 2 don't work, please REMOVE COMPLETELY the Oracle installation from your machine and try again.

4- If none of the above works to to
http://otn.oracle.com/forums/forumshome.html and search there for "oradim". If needed ask the question again stating ALL the steps you have taken so far.
