Do you mean the password for the super-user account in PostgreSQL itself (usually "postgres")? - or the password for the user account on the machine under which PostgreSQL runs? If it's the password for the PG superuser, and assuming that you've only just installed PG and have no databases yet that you want to keep, you could just scrub the installation and start again; do an initdb, or if you're on Windows, uninstall and reinstall. If you need to keep your installation, you could try what was suggested in this post: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2008-12/msg00700.php If it's the user account password, a privileged user can reset it...what OS are you on? > i've tried everything, i've been in your page that requires a e-mail > to send information to reset the password but i never get the e-mail > so far.(http://www.postgresql.org/community/lostpwd) That's not what you need - that's for community accounts which let you do stuff on the the PostgreSQL website, wiki, etc. > i've tried to > make a new username but the ones that i've tried already exist.
