Fill in the following, note the format of the username carefully:
| User-name: | This is your student number, preceded by OPS$ and followed by @ora12c |
| E.g., if your username is 0912345, then type in: OPS$0912345@ora12c | |
| Password: | When you registered for Oracle, you will have been given a password. Type this in when prompted. |
| Note, the password will not be echoed on the screen, nor any asterisks shown. |
Do note that the password is case sensitive, but the user-name is not. Generally the initial password given starts with a capital letter. You can change this once you have logged in.
If you have logged in successfully you will be presented with the SQL> prompt:

Changing Your Password
It is advisable to change your initial password to something else. To do this, once you have logged in, type:
password
It will ask for your old password first, before you can set a new one.
If you forget your new password and the system locks you out, re-run the registration program and it will reset it back to the original password for you (we can not recreate the updated password!):
