note that databases don't have passwords, database USERS have
passwords. 'killian' probably doesn't have a database user, and since
you didn't specify a user, it defaulted to your system username
(expecting that user to have been created in postgres, and wanting that
probably non-existant postgres users passsword)

so, ok, try the command with -U postgres, as *
*

*pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 **-U postgres **irll_project | pg_restore -U
postgres -p 5532*

if/when it prompts for a password, thats the password of the 'postgres'
database user, as configured in the postgres servers.

note it will prompt for the password a couple times, once for postgres
on port 5432, and again for postgres on port 5532, at least if both
database services are configured to require passwords for local connections.
