SQL + help can not seem to log in HELP PLEASE

[XXXXXkevXXXXX]

im installing oracle 9i , basically the only function i need to use is Sql +, but every time i try to log on it wont let me get on
i have tried using username/password : scott/tiger system/manager sys/sys they all dont seem to work.
during installation i choose client install with runtime option. is this right? or do i need to do the admistrator option. i have tried both yet i still am not successful
all i need is to use the sql +
am i not installing the right components? or do i have to create my own user name and pass word. what i was told is i dont need to use the host.


any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Is this on Unix? Did you perhaps configure the Oracle database instance to use OS authentication? If so, try starting sqlplus by typing "sqlplus /@[database]" instead of "sqlplus [user]@[database]".

okay i got it... when i installed it i should have installed the database center (2.8 gig) instead of the client.
