| Hi Adrian,
I assume that the postgres database password is the one which is shown in the DaVinci connect database window.
user: postgres password: DaVinci
But if I work in the Terminal and change the user "sudo su - postgres" I have to use my admin password. From the DaVinci manual:
• Make sure you log in as a user with Admin privileges, then open the Terminal application, located in the /Applications/Utilities folder, and open up the postgres environment for editing by typing:
sudo su - postgres
• At the prompt, type that computer’s administrator password and press return.
• When the “postgres$” prompt appears, you’ll create a backup of the “pg_hba.conf” setup
le for safety by typing:
Therefore I assumed that the postgres user has the same password as my admin account. But maybe I am wrong with these assumptions.
That is optional and I sort of doubt the application using one. You think DaVinci is not using any password … ?
Thank you. Robert

thank you for the answer.
There is one password for the postgres database and one for the postgres user.
How are you determining this?More to the point are you talking about the application(DaVinci Resolve) or the database itself?Both are not working somehow. Is there a way to look up the passwords? I saw in the documentation that there is a .pgpass file. But I can't find it.

I changed the auth method to trust for all users. This worked for now.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Robert

Hi,
I try to make pg_dumpall backups from a PostgreSQL 9.5 server which is part of the DaVinci Resolve 12.5.3 App on a Mac OS X 10.11.6 system.
Unfortunately I get following failure message:
pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
Maybe you can help me to solve this problem.
Two choices:
1) Determine what the password is for the postgres user and provide it when you connect.
2) If you have access to the pg_hba.conf file create a access line that uses trust as the auth method for user postgres connect that way.

Thank you.
