try all possible combinations of username & password like system/manager scott/tiger admin/admin

Scott/tiger used to be user/pass in old Oracle till oracle 8...

Now In oracle 10g it is not active you have to actiavte this user after installation...

During installation it ask you to set the password for -- system and Sys

if you have not set that you can search for default password for these user,

default password used to be something like - "change_on_install" -- do a google search

Otherwise login with user with which you installed ora10g, open Command prompt,

type -- sqlplus / as sysdba

This should log you in as system... For unix based system this works I am not sure about Windows.... As we work only on unix/linux based oracle...

^jalanbk is rite

You have to log on as SYSTEM/<your_password>@<your_database>

Then alter user scott account unlock;

And as a final step:
SQL> grant connect, resource to scott;

This should do it , now you should be able to login using the scott account.
