Re: I lost my password

I am using windows 8.1 and what I believe to be the latest version of
posgresql from postgresql.org.
Would it be better to reinstall postgresql?

What OS?

How did you install?

What password are you talking about?

Assuming you are talking about a Postgres password, take a look at:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html

From there you can set the local connection to trust and then access
Postgres. From there you can reset the password using ALTER USER:
