Win32 Oracle 10g Database Server Installation problems

Question

Hello,
I have recently installed the Oracle 10g Database Server for Win32. The installation seemed to be successful. I used the Enterprise option and all the suggested defaults. Ihave the following services installed and started after the installation:
o OracleDBConsoleORCL [started]
o OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus [started]
o OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerEncapsulator [manual]
o OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerMasterAgent [manual]
o OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener [started]
o OracleServiceORCL [started]
I have created the following files:
# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: d:\oracle10gServer\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = asparuh)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle10gServer)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle10gServer)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: d:\oracle10gServer\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = asparuh)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
INST1_HTTP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = asparuh)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = SHARED)
(SERVICE_NAME = MODOSE)
(PRESENTATION = http://HRService)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
I go to the DOS console and type:
c:> sqlplus scott/tiger@ORCL
and I get:
ERROR: ORA-28000: the account is locked
I did this right after I restarted my computer.
When I use the Enterprise Manager at:
http://localhost:5500/em/
I get for ORCL:
Status: Status Pending
Status Pending Since: Unavailable
Seems that I can never get the database started properly?! When I press the Startup/Shutdown button I get:
Current Status: open
This is the correct current database status, although it doesnot match the current status in the sitemap page
What does this mean? Do you think this may contain the clue to the answer to this problem?
When I restart the Database I get the same status: unavailable.
I need your help to resolve this problem. The alternative is to revert back to Oracle 9i DB Server. Thank you in advance.

I can help you with the SCOTT account being locked. Try:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
alter user scott identified by tiger account unlock;
