Error Launching OracleManagement Server

Question

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 8.1.6 R2 on Window NT4.0 Professional. My machine has 17GB HDD and 128MB RAM.
When I try to start my Oracle Management Server from Control Panel-Services, it gives error like this
"Could not start the OracleManagementserver service on local computer. An internal windows NT error occured."
Some how I am unable to start OracleManagementserver service from Control panel/services. As per the manual, we can import/export data only through OMS. I need to know how we can solve this error, so that we can start running our software on Oracle 8i.

Answer 1

I would like to add to this: I am having the same problem, and have posted to the Oracle misc newsgroup the following:
I am trying to start the OMS on a server that we can't find the admin
pw to log on with. I log on to this machine using my LAN name/pw, and
do have admin rights on it. Anyway, I have been getting an error in
Control Panel | Services that I tracked down to the Oracle log, which
says:
[main][14:9:52:45] VdbSession.processError: errorCode >1017<
[main][14:9:52:45] VdbSession.processError: errorMsg >ORA-01017:

I've finally tracked down a message on the OraFaq which says:

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?This seems to be the issue that I'm having problems with. In control
panel/services, I have the option to start the service using a
specific user, which is set as LocalSystem, and I choose that, close
the window, then re-open it, and it's unselected again and "use this
account" is selected.
Is there any way to find the default name/pw if "sysman/oem_temp"
doesn't work? And would "sysman/oem_temp" work if I were logged in
either as Administrator, or as the previous user who set this up?
Thanks ahead for any help, greatly appreciate everything you guys do
for all of us.
