When I encountered the error in reading the postgresql.conf file I
googled and found the answer at error reading c:\Program

<http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/49782810.9050309@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.But
I am unable to execute the answer since when I run the command "*runas
/user:postgres**cmd*" and enteredpassword of the superuser(postgres)
which I entered at the time of the installation I get the following as
the output.I am on Windows 7 starter
Attempting to start cmd as user "<admin-account-folder-name>\postgres" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd
1326: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
So it there actually a postgres system user?
If so does the following apply? Note the *[]* section(my addition):
http://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/9.3/pginstguide/PostgreSQL_Installation_Guide-07.htm#P132_8236
"PostgreSQL uses the password specified on the Password window for both
the database superuser and the PostgreSQL service account.
PostgreSQL runs as a service in the background; the PostgreSQL service
account is named postgres. *[If you have already created a service
account with the name postgres, you must specify same password as the
existing password for the postgres service account.]*"
Can someone offer me a solution please?
I am totally new to PostgreSQL
Thanks Varuna
