It is obvious that the user "postgres" was created during the install (default part of RH 8.0 install) but I have no idea > what the password is. How do I alter that? When you are su'd to root, then you can su to any user without a password. > I have also tried MysqlCC, but there I get server errors, which confounds me because I am not trying to build a database on a server, but simply on my desktop machine.

I want a tool that will allow me that kind of ease of use. I thought I found two such tools but I can;t seem to use them.
