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.
