I am trying to create a new connection. I recently installed Oracle SQL Developer but I am getting this error and it's freaking me out. Can anybody help me to resolve this ?

    Use the Service name (instead of: SID). – stefan Mar 25 '18 at 08:06

First of all, this has been asked before here. Are you sure that you have the SSID named orcl? You can check it via Database configuration Assistant. Choose Configure an existing database, or create a new database and use that ssid. Also sometimes this happens because of your firewall, so disable it and try again. Also refer to this for further queries.
