Re: forgot password

Thanks a lot for your help and quick respond. There is a but... I truly
don't know anything about computers. (as you might have noticed)
So the two question who rise are
- where to i find the pg_hba.conf-file and how do I adjust it to 'trust'?
(ive searched my windows for it but i couldn;t find it)
- how do i start postgres with skip-grant-tables option (i believe ive
erased the complete postgresql from my comp)?

Thanks alot again guys. Hopefully it will work this time.
