Hi Eric, 1. edit /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf change/remark the connection authentification method, and add this line: local all all trust <-- it won't ask you any password anymore 2. restart postgresql: service postgresql restart 3. su postgres 4. psql -U postgres -d template1 5. alter user nameofuser with password 'thepassword'; 6. \q <-- to quit 7. exit 8. restore the pg_hba.conf back to the original setting. 9. restart posgresql 10. you're clear to go :) -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 13:26:03 up 5:20, Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key
