Re: creation and/or locating username password for oralce 10g on linux 9

I believe I got the service name correct as a first time test it gave me a ora-01017 invalid password error
after I typed :

sqlplus /nolog
connect /as sysdba
startup;

it showed some memory values e.t.c
I ran netca to check if I got the service name correct and then i got that ora-01017 error

any pointers?
