Moving from 7.x to 8.0beta4 with a backup

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I had been running 7.x under cygwin (about 2 versions behind the latest
cygwin has), but cygserver stopped running on my last cygwin update, and
it seemed easier to move to 8.0 than to coax cygserver back to life.
Fortunately, I had a quite recent pg_dumpall, so I installed 8.0
(easy!), created a test database and verified I could do something, and
then set about restoring from my backup.

It appears that Tools > Backup or Tools > Restore in pgAdmin works at
the database level, not for everything on the server, so I tried

/pathtobeta4/psql.exe template1 < database.backup

It prints

$ /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/PostgreSQL/8.0.0-beta4/bin/psql.exe template1 < da
tabase.backup
Password:
psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "user name"

where user name is the name of the user created in database.backup
(unfortunately, I had put no password on my cygwin installation). I
tried adding a -W option to psql, to no avail. I tried creating a user
of the proper name in pgAdmin and giving a password -- or no password,
to no avail. I tried adding ... PASSWORD 'thepassword' ... in the
CREATE USER statement in database.backup, to no avail.

Any suggestions? I'm guessing it's an easy answer that just escapes me.

<*>

Once I get that done, I might as well get rid of the cygwin PostgreSQL.
Is there any problem in simply uninstalling it using cygwin setup?

Thanks,

Bill
