Re: postgres password

You cannot use the postgres account without some tweaks, Sorry I don't remember where I found this info - somewhere in the pgadmin install docs.

 

However this works:

 

Create a new superuser with a password, add connectivity to the pg_hba.conf file if needed and pgadmin should work fine

Change the following in pg_hba.conf host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5 to host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32           trust and that will let you connect without password and then reload your db server settings using 'pg_ctl reload'. You can then set the password once connected to database using alter user username password 'password' Once you are done with that now you can switch back to original authentication mode. /Shoaib On 6/15/06, Jasbinder Bali < jsbali@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hello, > I'm trying to connect to the local postgres database using pgadmin.
