Daniel,

When you log in to the Management Server, you are not connecting to a database. You are merely connecting to a process or, given that you are running Windows, a service. (As an aside, the amount of confusion that reigns on this subject leads me to believe that Oracle should immediately and henceforth change the name of the damn thing to 'Management Daemon' or something similar!).

Therefore, since this isn't a database you're connecting to, no database usernames or passwords apply. Instead, the process is hard coded to accept initial connections only from SYSMAN, password OEM_TEMP.

Your very first connection as that 'user' will cause the process to demand you pick a new password. Thereafter, connections will be as sysman/whatever_you_chose.
