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.

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

Take a look here:

Basically, the password isn't set yet. You may or may not need to set

one depending on how you configure pg_hba.conf
