Re: Newbie Question - internal password

I use 7.3.4 on NT, so this might not be true for 8.0,

but in 7.3.4 the password for the internal account on the default database is 'ORACLE'.

The location of the pwdorcl.ora file (again, if things haven't changed), is 'c:\orant\database\pwdorcl.ora' if you installed in the default location on your C: drive.

Hope this helps.
