Re: HELP: Password for Oracle 8.0 "INTERNAL" on NT 4.0

USER: INTERNAL
ORACLE is automatically the password if you installed your Oracle8 database using the Oracle8 Enterprise Edition option. If you installed your Oracle8 database using the Custom option, the password is whatever you entered when prompted during installation

You can also find the password by inspecting the file C:\ORANT\DATABASE\strtorcl.cmd
(where orcl is the instance name)

USER: SYS
PASWORD: CHANGE_ON_INSTALL Note that INTERNAL is just an alias for SYS account.

Your Oracle password has nothing to do with your NT server password unless you specifically ask Oracle to use the operating system username and password - this can only be done once your database is up and running

Hope this helps
