They refer to two of the adminstrator accounts created with the
database.
If I may use a unix example, the SYS account is the equivalent of ROOT
access to the database. SYSTEM is another administrative account with
almost as much authority.
If you chose the default installation & had it create a database for
you, then you also have a user named SCOTT with a password of TIGER.
You log into these accounts from a tool, such as sqlplus, oracle
enterprise manager etc. (these were also part of the install & you'll
find them under "programs, Oracle - <oracle_home>" off of your start
menu.
For example, to log into the database as the "SYS" user, you would go
to sqlplus, type in "SYS" for the user, "CHANGE_ON_INSTALL" for the
password, and (based on your example) "uktest" for the host string
(you can also leave the last one blank if you're logging in from the
machine where Oracle is installed.
