If you installed Oracle9i or Oracle 10g and this database was created during the install process (or you created the database using DBCA), you were asked to provide a password.

Oracle no longer routinely creates a database with 'default' passwords.

However, logging on as the user who installed the software, you may be able to access the database without a password, and change the 'system' password using

> sqlplus /nolog

SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> alter user system identified by turkey;

User altered.

SQL> exit

resulting in the system password being 'turkey'
