The HELPINS utility reads this login from SYSTEM_PASS to run successfully.

or
C:\> SQLPLUS SYSTEM/PASSWORD
where PASSWORD is the password you have defined for the SYSTEM user.
SQL> @%ORACLE_HOME%/SQLPLUS/ADMIN/HELP/HELPBLD.SQL
To access SQL*Plus help, enter one of the following commands in SQL*Plus:
SQL> HELP
or
SQL> HELP INDEX
or
SQL> HELP TOPIC
If you know the topic for which you want help, enter the following:
SQL> HELP topic
where topic is a SQL*Plus help topic. For example, enter
SQL> HELP COLUMN
for help on the Column command.
If you get a response that help is unavailable, check that you have correctly installed SQL*Plus help in the SYSTEM schema.
For more information about the Help command, see Chapter 8, "Command Reference" in the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference.
