Re: Admin user issue: unable to login after changing password

Hi,
I'm sorry, there was a typing error. I fixed pg_hba.conf with " host    all             postgres             localhost               trust ". I'm still unable to run pgadmin or psql.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Sharon

looks like you missed the 'type' value in pg_hba? the sequence is type, database, user, address, method

See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html

Fix your pg_hba.conf file to not require a password from the affected
user, reload it and then login and do a good pw reset and set
valid-until to infinity..


alter role postgres password 'good-pw' valid until 'infinity';

Hello sharon,

                        first : please use bottom posting , so it's more easy to read the mail history / thread from up to down.

Second: could you attach the pg_hba.conf ?

Third: how you connect to postgresql ?

Four: after modify the pg_hba.conf, did you reload or restart postgresql?

I explain:  if you connect to "localhost"  the rule

host     all             postgres             localhost               trust

make you enter in the database trough the 127.0.0.1 on 5432 ( I imagine you have the default settings and the firewall with the open port or firewall down ) without password

psql -U postgres -h localhost

will connect to database

if you not specified "locahost"  the probably rule you will meet will be about "local" connection :

local     all             all                             peer

that will make you enter without password, only if your OS account exists in the database.

Bye

Mat
