When first installed the Oracle database has three default users. SYS (password CHANGE_ON_INSTALL), SYSTEM (password MANAGER) and SCOTT (password TIGER). The first thing any DBA does after an install is to change the passwords and drop SCOTT. In your case you should be able to use these.
And I should note that this information is in the readme file so as you have not done so already ... I encourage you to do exactly that: read it!
