John,

Instead of mounting the database via a line command in SQL*DBA, you might want to use the Database Manager icon, which has a 'Startup' button. You'll still need the database password, which is what you were prompted for during the install.

I believe the default (as suggested by the install screen) was 'oracle'. Try that...
