Problem

I am trying to install oracle 12c on my virtualbox oracle linux 6.5. I ran the command oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall , which created a user oracle . But I can't seem to login to the user cause I don't know the password. What is the password ?

Solution

The oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall package includes a bash script that creates the oracle user, if not already existing, using the useradd command.

In this case in log file /var/log/oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall/results/orakernel.log you should see this entry:


Please set password for oracle user

You can run the following command as root to assign a password:

# passwd oracle
