Trying to get log on to Oracle here at work to play around with. No one here seems to know the password. Does Oracle use something standard such as scott/tiger, or system/manager, and if so what is the host string?

Do you know the name or IP address of the database server ?
Do you know the name of the database you have created ?
Add this entry in your tnsnames.ora file .

DBSERVER - Database Server Name
DBNAME - Database Name (it may be ORCL)

NIKKI.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = DBSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = DBNAME))
)

User id - system
Password - manager
Host String - Nikki.world

Good Luck !

Password file will be in Oracle_home/dbs directory.
The format of the file will be orapw<SID>.

Just delete this file and recreate the file using ORAPWD utility.

orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw<SID> password=<Password for sys>

Note:There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.
