Member Posts: 1
Hello,
When I attempt to connect to the oracle DB on virtualbox, I get the an "invalid username/password" error. The default username/password should be oracle/oracle.
Thank you for your help.

Please verify that:
- SID is correct.
- Username is correct.
- Use SQLPlus and test the username and password for this database.
- Re-enter the password on the connector page.
There are a few reasons that you can get this error:
- Your username or password is actually incorrect
- The database configuration is not correct (tnanames.ora, $ORACLE_SID parameter)
If you are able to connect as SYS then use
Try ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = FALSE
following SQL should show the PASSWORD_VERSIONS for a user.
select USERNAME,ACCOUNT_STATUS,PASSWORD_VERSIONS from dba_users;
