Hi,

I recently uninstalled PostgreSQL, and now am attempting to reinstall it on a Windows Vista OS. However, I don't remember the password that was used to install PostgreSQL before, and am prompted with "The password specified was incorrect. Please enter the correct password for the postgres windows user account."

I'm guessing that PostgreSQL wasn't fully uninstalled previously, and there are still some registry files or data files somewhere? Can my old password somehow be retrieved?

Thanks,

- Andrew
