In an install of 'normal' Oracle10g, it is one of the first little thingies *you* have to provide while creating the database. So unless you are either sleeping, or blind, or stoned, or drunk you could jot it down, couldn't you?
You can also identify when you look at the Windows services names starting with OracleService. Guess what the last letters are? Anyway, it is all written down for you in the Getting Started Manual, which you obviously didn't read.
