The default password for internal is oracle. The default apssword for scott is tiger. The default password for SYS is a long string of chars depending on your

   machine id-read the readme file and it will explain. Contrary to what    SYS is on other machines(change_in_install).

Also, the database Autostarts by default. You need to shut this off to create your own database. Look in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ORACLE and there is a setting. Again, this is in the readme file.

What I'm trying to say is, look at the readme file-it's got useful info in it.
