Hello, I am brand new to Postgres 9.5 and have just installed it on my Windows OS, using the Win x86-64 installer, downloaded from: http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#windows I am trying to setup a new database from the Windows command prompt (run as admin) and I am being prompted for a password after entering the command “psql -U postgres” from the directory containing psql.exe.
Are you sure?: http://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/9.3/pginstguide/PostgreSQL_Installation_Guide-07.htm#TopOfPage Figure 3.4
At no point during installation was I asked to create a password, so from reading http://pgsnake.blogspot.com/2010/07/postgresql-passwords-and-installers.html , I understand that what I need is a service password. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find such a password. The file pgpass.conf (C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\postgresql\pgpass.conf ) is blank, and manually entering something produces no results when I try to type it into the command prompt. Any ideas on how I can find/set this password? Thank you, *Sofy H. Weisenberg* Graduate Research Assistant Institute of Biomedical Engineering University of Tennessee, Knoxville
