-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I found this same problem. The uninstall really needs to remove this account. Either that, or the next install process needs to be able to get the random password somehow. Open a command prompt, then use the command "net user /delete postgres" to get rid of the account. "net user" shows all users. - -- Jim McMaster mailto:jim.mcmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx ________________________________ From: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 3:55 PM To: usya usya; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: postgres service account Why don't you try to use another account for the service - while reinstalling just fill in 'posgres2' as service account...
