Doesn't anyone ever read the installation documents any more?

This question comes up over and over and over and over and over and over ....

And the answers are clearly documented in the installation instructions.

Please do yourself and everyone else a favor ... read them.

It will save you needless hours of frustration.

The default passwords are:

sys            change_on_install
system       manager

And after you have your database up and running follow the advice contained in the sys password. Issue the following:

ALTER USER sys
IDENTIFIED BY <new password>;

ALTER USER system
IDENTIFIED BY <new password>;'
