Oracle XE - Just can't login after install

On Lubuntu 10.10, I did:
echo "deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update ; apt-get install oracle-xe
That brings me Oracle XE 10.2.0.1. And then:
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Everything looks ok, including the password prompt and so. After that, I go to http://127.0.0.1:port/apex, and when I try to login with the username "SYSTEM", and the password I just typed. I get a "Invalid Login Credentials" error.
I also tried:
sqlplus /nolog
CONNECT
[ .. login and password .. ]
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Setting the environment variables also don't help.
sh oracle_env.sh
Well.. I just don't know what's happening. I repeated this procedure trying to find peculiar things, but always got the same results. Also tried some other users as "SYS". useless...
Thanks in advance.

Can't login after installing Oracle 10g on XP Service Pack 1

Hi, I am completely new to using oracle and cannot login after completing the install process. I followed the article:
http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/oracle/115320/3
in order to install and unlock the relevant accounts (such as "SCOTT"). But I keep getting the following error message when attempting to login (at both the "http://myservername/em" and "http://myservername/isqlplus" urls):
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
After a few of those errors I also get an understandable "account locked" error message.
Can anyone suggest fields for "username", "password" and "contact identifier" that might enable me to login?! And why can't I use the "Global Database Name" and password that I supplied during the installation process?
oh, and does it make a difference that I'm using "Parallels Desktop" to run windows from my mac?
Thanks very much for any help, because I really need to get this running quickly!

Open SQL*Plus ... all learning of Oracle should start at the SQL*Plus command line.
Assuming you are logged in to the operating system as the same user that installed the Oracle software on SQL*Plus in the Start -> Programs menu.
Under username type "/ as sysdba" without the double-quotes and leave the other two dialog box fields empty.
Now enter:
SQL> alter user scott account unlock identified by tiger;
SQL conn scott/tigerIf this works you need to proceed by getting a beginning Oracle book. The one's offered by Oracle Press are among the best for your level or preferably find a class personal mentor in your area.

But XP SP1? Why? SP2 is the minimum for a system with some level of security.
In the future always post a complete version number (3 decimal places) as well as, as you did, complete error messages. That will help you get good answers.

Can't login after installing Leopard

I just installed 10.5 onto an intel Mac Mini from the DVD. Everything went smooth until i restarted. the only user is now "other". It is asking me to login and no username or password is working. I followed the help I found on the site and reset the password with the reset password utility on the desk - still nothing. I have tried lots of different combinations including "System Administrator (root)" name (in many different combinations!). Nothing is working yet.
Message was edited by: Wonderdog

what kind of install did you do? an upgrade and install, an archive and install or an erase and install?
what help did you follow? what exactly did you do? if it's showing "other" at the login screen it must mean you activated root password from the install DVD, is that right? when you try to log in as root you need to enter "root" (no quotes) as the user name, not "System administrator(root)".

Can't update after install Yosemite

can't update after install Yosemite

Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

Can't login after Mavericks install

After installing Mavericks and using it for awhile I shutdown my MacBook AIr 2013.
Now on restart I get to login screen but after entering credentials screen flashes and return me to login screen.
Tried resetting VRAM and booting to safe mode but no change.
Any one solve this problem?

Had the same issue... I believe mine was because of my eikon fingerprint reader and the Authentec Truesuite software. see this discussion... https://discussions.apple.com/message/23468812#23468812
I'm doing a scorched earth reinstall now!

Can't login after deleting a standard user on directory utility.

My laptop was rebooted in an apple service center, they made a user account for me to use. I backed up my old user with migration using time machine. I changed the administrator to my old user account and tried to delete the other user but it kept on returning. After searching on how to delete user, I found a tutorial that promted me to delete that account using the directory utility found in Systems/Library/CoreServices.
When I tried to log in again, my computer can't find the administrator user. The log in screen is empty and when I type the admin name and password, it would just load and nothing. On the password box, the little circle would just go round and round. Please help!

Hi RHermann,
I have some question.
Does the user use a network account for login and how many users are affected by this problem?
Did that happened with a local user account on the same PC, too?
Which OS is running on your PC? Windows 7 64 Bit?
Which server system do you use for the User server?
Do you get any problem reports if you login after uninstall DIAdem?
Can you tell me which HW you use? Dell HP …
I hope that information will make it possible to detect your problem. :-)

Oracle 10gr2 locally is not working after installing Oracle 11g

hi ,
Does anyone has any idea after installing oracle 11g in system, Oracle 10g locally is not working. I am getting below error.
Forms session <2> failed during startup: no response from runtime process

Generally this is because the software you install last updates the system environment variables with its information, thereby break products that use files with similar names. Specifically, look at PATH and ORACLE_HOME. Likely you will see that entries for your 11g installation will be displayed first. In order to use v10, you would need to change this or use script files to start executibles. For Forms runtime, be sure to properly set default.env to point to the desired PATH

Hi Ted,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
Ignore the MacKeeper ad no matter what else you decide.
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.

Can't AirPrint after installing new router

After installing a new Virgin media router I can't print from my iPad or iPhone to my Airprint Epson printer. Works perfect from my Macbook pro on Lion. Worked fine before installing the new router on iPad and iPhone. Any ideas ?

OK fixed it. Had to Manually set up the printer to link to the wifi again from the printer control pad and now I can see it on my iPad and iPhone again. Good days.

Why does my iMac shut down before it can boot up After installing 7.3 update on my iMac?

After installing 7.3 last night, I hit restart and went to bed. My intel iMac i7 3.4ghz was powered down this morning, and only after unplugging,waiting, rep plugging,
It finally powered on, only to boot to the gray apple screen, go black and silent. (this exact issue had me lugging it back to apple a month after purchase, today is 93 days)
Recovery mode got me about one second further in bottling up before shutting off.
I was forced to upgrade from an unproblematic pc g5, after iCloud, so do not own snow leopard and was told I would never need a re install disc.
Has anyone having the powering off during boot after updating to 7.3?

omg. I would copy and paste your original post to the iMac section. You're talking about a fine piece of equipment, the Intel iMac i7 3.4ghz , and you should not be having such problems. Maybe others in the iMac i7 community might also have some ideas.
Re: the safe boot. That's good that it worked. This is fairly new and very, very helpful with a dead computer because at least you can get to Safari, get to the Internet and get ideas and seek help.
But why did it shut off after a while? That's not right. No reason it should have done that.
From something you said I would worry about your power supply problem or this PerIphrEa. I don't know what that is but Migration is built into Lion OS, no? Third party perificials (or apps) can certainly cause conflicts and not work as well as advertised.
Also, seriously, I would get some tape, like duct tape, and tape up that loose power supply.
Why do you need something extra for your migration? (Or is the reason your old PowerPC G5 needs to run Lion but it can't?).
If that is the problem, here's an idea. Continue the canibalization of your PowerPC G5, take out it's hard drive(s). Buy an 'enclosure' to put the hard drive in and allow you to connect this hard drive to your new machine, the beautiful iMac i7, using the old hard drive as an external drive.
I did exactly this with my old PowerPC G5, using this enclosure, a Macally G-S350SUA, info at: http://www.macally.com/en/product/ipod4show.asp?ArticleID=215
I now use this for my Time Machine backups.
Re:What is the proper amount of time the computer needs to be unplugged? This would worry me. I turn off my comuter NOT by unplugging it but by holding the power on button for about 3-4 seconds and then it turns off.
I then wait 5 long seconds before pressing the power on button again to turn the computer back on.
Having to plug in and unplug and plug in and having to wait ten minutes for it to work is not normal.
Is there a power supply issue in your home, perhaps?
Considering the value of this machine and the fact that it may still be under warrenty, I'd consider the weeklong diagnostic. Would the machine have the same need to wait ten minutes to turn on at the Apple place?
What if you plug it in at a friend's house, or an office or library? Would it still take ten minutes before you could turn the machine on?
It might seem horrible to have to wait a week...or to do this again and again but I'd recommend taking full advantage of your warrenty, keep sticking this problem back to Apple and insist it gets made right. It will be worth it in the long run.

Try this:
Reset all Internet Explorer settings:

Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Clear all Temporary Internet Files.

Can't connect after install

After installing from FTP, I rebooted and then I tried to get some packages with pacman, but it didn't work. I'd like to know why I could connect to download the base packages but can't do it now.
I've checked almost all configuration files in /etc, I've modified some like hosts.allow and hosts.deny, with no results. Making a ping to my ethernet card shows that it works.
Pacman -Syu returns this error:
ftp.xxx.org temporarily unavailable
connection failed
ftp.other.org temporarily unavailable
connection failed
etc...
Please, tell me what do I do now. And yes, I did rtfm.

You should still find the solution so you don't require the use of the initrd. While there are cases where using this boot method are required or beneficial, it is generally best to configure the system so it isn't needed if possible. Besides the slightly faster (perhaps not noticable to some) boot time, it also ensure that the system is properly configured for both hardware and security issues.
Of course there are those who think that if you are happy with things the way they are, don't mess with them. You probably won't learn much about AL this way though.

The Groupwise WebAccess can be recognize after install

HI All,
After install the groupwise webaccess, I try to configure webaccess, this error shows
"GroupWise WebAccess is not installed. Please install it and run GroupWise WebAccess Configuration again"
I enable proxy module already.
Could you tell me how to debug this case?
Regards,

Updated: I have just installed webaccess 2014 successfull in the upgraded system(from 2012 to 2014) .
So I think the webaccess needs more requirement than ibm java 6 and apache2 & tomcat6.

Can't login after it reset my pw?

so my macbook, which is all updated and stuff, does this wierd thing where if i set it to automatically logout or request the password at login, it will reset the password for me, and then i can't log back into my computer with my original password until someone force-changes it...unfortunately i can't find my friend who changed it for me last time, and i really want to use my computer again...
does anyone have any suggestions for me? ive tried to change it with passwd <username>, but my username has a space in it and it pops up as an error...
i got it to change a password, but it created a second admin account as well, and i'm really confused about that. on the list of users, my account still exists, but i can't login to it...and right now it isn't even letting me access the passwd thing, i'm kinda worried, please help me...
thank you!
