Help! Newbie

Situation: 1st time using Oracle for a training class. 1st install
Problem:
I just went through the instructions for " Installing the Oracle9i
Database[1]". My problem is that I don't remember the passwords I created
and I'm following the instructions for loggin in... I am failing
miserably. Panicing..
I can see the id in the logs.
Will the password be in the Logs?
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2005-10-09_04-22-59PM
Any ideas(Resolutions)?
Thanks,,,,
Please do not multi-post.

I'm afraid this is not Oracle group. This is MS SQL Server group.
Look for comp.database.oracle subgroups.
It's not a client application issue, so do not post it in client
subgroups.
As far as I know there's no way to get that password, but there
may be a way to log in without that password and to reset that
password to a new one (there is in Oracle 8i), but I do not know how.
You could probably also try uninstalling the server and reinstalling it.
