Looking at an existing database... (Oracle 7.3 on NT)

I have been given an existing Oracle database, which I will need to maintain and administer.
However, I know nothing about the database files, locations, table structure, service names, etc.
All I know is a username and password, and I have no experience with Oracle 7.3

Any pointers on how I can connect to the database, find out where it is so that I know what to back up, and look at the tables, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Kel
