If you look under your services (under control panel), what user is used to start the OMS service? The user *should* be the default system (LocalSystem) user..
Also, have you tried the default username/password of sysman/oem_temp? -----Original Message----- Hermansson (MMS) Sent: 15 July 2002 16:48 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi I have installed personal Oracle 8i, but cant log on to OMS, and also on to database config assistant.
