Logging in with postgres remotely

[Newbie Poster <newbie.poster@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to connect to a postgres database ona remote server using pgAdmin III, and the user postgres.  According to some instructions I found in the mailing list archives, I reset the password of the postgres user, which is required before one can use that username to connect to a remote database. I am still getting the same error, however, which is:

 Error connecting to the server: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres"

Any pointers?  Thanks!
