Hi,

you cannot change INTERNAL username or its password. It is specified only during database creation. But if your Oracle server starts successfuly you can find out the password of the INTERNAL user from the following file:

<ORACLE_HOME>\DATABASE\strt<SID>.cmd

It contains a record like this:

<ORACLE_HOME>\bin\oradim80.exe -startup -sid <SID> -usrpwd <INTERNAL_PASSWORD> -starttype srvc,inst -pfile f:\oracledb\initrs.ora
