message: Invalid Login Credentials at SQL command line trying to connect ora-01017 invalid username/password; logon denied

Answer 1

You can try this from the DOS command line:

sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba;
alter user sys identified by newpass;

Make sure the Oracle bin folder is on your path, but XE installation usually modifies that for you automatically.
