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:
