ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

    Either the username does not exist in the database or the password is invalid.


    To check which users exist in the database, use following select:


    select username from all_users

    If you want to have logging of all invalid attempts, enable database auditing by setting the value of the database parameter audit_trail to DB.

    Also enable auditing for invalid connections by using following statement:


    audit create session

    After that, you can find useful information by querying the dba_audit_session data dictionary view:


    select * from dba_audit_session where username='MYUSER' and returncode != 0;

    You can use our free tool Oracle Password Changer to change the password of an Oracle database user.

    You have to unlock the account.

    You can do that with following command:
    alter user system account unlock

    Since Oracle 9, some default accounts are locked by default.
    You have to connect with an account with the correct privileges (eg / AS SYSDBA)

    Read the Oracle documentation on tahiti.oracle.com.

    There you can read all the necessary steps to create a new Oracle database, wether it is via the command line or via the database creation assistant.

    You have to connect using "/ as sysdba" or any other dba account to the database and reset the password for the account you are trying to connect with.

    Did you also specify the option to create a database?
    What is the database name?
    Is the service running?
