unless he has changed it you could go in as user: internal pass:oracle this is one of the defualt accounts.

also you could go in as user:sys pass: change_on_install

Yes, On the start menu goto programs/Oracle for Windows NT/Oracle Net 8 Easy Config. Choose test and the existing services list box is activated, scroll down and you will see all the services.

You can also add a new service, this is very simple, you just have to know the machines name (the one the oracle database is on) or ip address.

BTW if you want to log into Oracle from the machine it on, you do not have to supply a service name.

Hope you come right :-)
