Re: I lost my password

OK, I think I should tell you folks that I am a newbie. I am using
postgresql to learn the SQL for the purpose of learning storing the data in
my c++ application. I have near zero knowledge of SQL or PostgreSQL for that
matter.
When I type C:\pgsql, I am asked to entered a password, but I don't recall
the any passwords I might've set up at installation time.

thanks

So what password are you talking about?

I doubt this requires reinstalling.
