Help! I don't have an internal user

On our system (NT 4, Oracle 8), we have two databases - a Live and a Test. However when I re-create the Test database using scripts provided by the product supplier, I don't seem to have an internal user when then scripts are finished.

The scripts themselves use the internal user (with the password of oracle), but when I try to log on as internal when the scripts have finished I get the an oracle logon error (as if it is the wrong username or password, which it is not).

I'm not sure if this is related, but if the database is subsequently shutdown (by restarting NT - with no internal user I can't use svrmgr to do a shutdown commmand), it will not restart, and it doesn't give any reason for this in the alert log.

Any help would be appreciated

TIA Dom
