Yes, you never read any documentation and just started to install rightaway. Also you don't provide any clues on the version you are using and the exact message you are seeing. Personally I've *never* seen the message you are describing, so it very much looks like the install went astray. Likely this is the internal password, the default internal password (which is documented of course in the getting started manual, which you should have installed) is 'oracle'
