Oracle database throwing error - orapw[SID] is missing - oracle

I have downloaded and installed Oracle Database Express edition. In SQL Developer, I am trying to create a new database connection that connects to SYS, however I am being rejected with the error:
Status : Failure -Test failed: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
I found out that during installation I should have been prompted to create a password for sys, but no such thing happened.
I then tried to find the orapw[SID] file in /database. It was not there.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Trying to connect to database, getting error ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

I am new to oracle, I just installed oracle when I am trying to connect to the database I got this error.ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
To connect onn Oracle DB you should configure the file tnsnames.ora wich define DNS to your oracle server.
After configure file, you can test your connection with tnsping DNS_NAMED_SERVER
if you never heard about tns names, you can read more on Oracle Docs https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/NETRF/tnsnames.htm#NETRF260

on using oracle database link theres an error "ORA-12154 TNS Could not resolve the connect identifier specified"

I'm trying to define a database link on oracle 10.2 with connection identifier that throws the error in the question header.
I have the connection identifier (service name) in my tnsnames.ora file.
I can connect with sqlplus using this service name. no problem.
This is the creation sql:
create database link dev1.REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM
connect to user1 identified by pass1
using 'dev1';
select using the link:
select * from t_users#dev1;
I get: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
connecting to oracle with sqlplus to the 'unidentified' service (with no problem):
sqlplus user1/pass1#dev1
I defined another link to the same database I'm woking in (loopback) - works OK.
I read and tried anything I could find about the subject but did not solve this.
Any suggestions?
Try:
create database link dev1 connect to user1 identified by pass1 using 'dev1';
Also note that a tnsnames.ora entry for dev1 has to exist on the database server that you're linking from.
