Oracle 9i on Windows 98: Who is user 'P08'?

370736Dec 28 2002 — edited Dec 28 2002

Hi there,

I just installed Oracle Personal Edition 9.0.1.1.0 on my Win98 machine. I went with all the defaults, and told the installer to create a database for me. Everything seemed to install fine, and I wrote down the global name, SID, etc.

I start the database via the Windows menu "Start: Programs: Oracle: Database Administration: Start Oracle9i Database". Type in the password, and everything starts fine.

Then I go to the Oracle 9i Navigator. I see an icon that says "Local Database", so I click on it, and it says "Invalid username/password". Note: This is the first time that I have ever visited this database.

I right click on "Local Database", and I see that this icon has a "Username: P08" and an obscured password.

I have no idea who "PO8" is, the installer never mentioned anything about this user, I can't find any information about this user in the docs, and I have no idea what the password should be.

I've tried the following passwords, but none of these work:

PO8 (and p08, po8, pO8, etc).
tiger (since that's what 'scott' uses)
demo
password
test
manager
change_on_install
"" (blank)

What is the password? Who is this "PO8" user? It seems that P08 is a generic name for "Personal Oracle 8",_
