This is a really common complaint about Oracle. 'internal' is just another way of referring to the user 'sys.' The default password for 'sys' is 'change_on_install', so try that.

You know, if you are logged in as the operating system user that created the Oracle instance, internal shouldn't even ask you for a password. Maybe its because there are no OS users in Windows 3.11.
