Re: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc1 in position 0: invalid start byte

This error means that your username/password contains non-ascii characters
which pgAdmin4 not able to encode/decode.

Could you provide steps to re-produce this issue and also information like
pgAdmin4 version, OS version, Postgres version, are you running pgAdmin4 in
Desktop mode or Web mode ?
