SQL Developer New Connection

Question

Hello,
I am a student, just downloaded SQL DEVELOPER.
I need to know how to create a new connection. I followed the HELP button under connection and the following directions bellow:
"To create a new database connection, right-click the Connections node and select New Database Connection. Use the dialog box to specify information about the connection (see Create/Edit/Select Database Connection). You can also create a new database connection by selecting an existing connection in that dialog box, changing the connection name, changing other connection attributes as needed, and clicking Save or Connect."
I am getting an error that states the following:
Status : Failure -Test failed: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
I also added the system generating login SYSTEM but I could not figure out the password. I tried sys, system, admin.
Any help it will be very much appretiated.

Answer 1

Did you create the database, or did it already exist?
The default system password is manager, but you are normally asked to specifiy a password when creating the database.
If someone else created the database, you will have to ask them for the password.
