vladimir, add this to CONFIG.ORA on the pc:

        SQLNET_USERNAME=myusername
and change the REMOTE parameter to:

        REMOTE=D:REMNODE-TESTDB
you can also set LOCAL to the same value.

then login using null username and password or enter just "/" and you will connect without revealing your password.
