Hi David, sorry bout that. Agreed: bad form. Here's the page:

Thank you for your help. I don't understand what you mean but "trust
basis" and "don't listed on TCP/IP sockets by default" cause I'm really
not that informed. I know python programming, basics on DB design, but
very little on networking and SQL.

The 'trust' authentication method will be found in your pg_hba.conf file:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/auth-methods.html#AUTH-TRUST

On Windows, sockets really have no meaning as Postgres will use localhost in their place.


I'm really just trying to learn new stuff and I might be way over my
head but I just wanted to create a DB and start populating it with some
data and then mess around with it so I can learn. I'm interested in
developing my own text analysis tools off of my own emails in Outlook.

Thanks again.

        Hi Postgres,

        My installation of Postgress 9.6 did not include any setting of
        a SuperUser password so I'm at a loss.

        Do I have a bad installation?

        I got it here:

        
http://www.enterprisedb.com/postgresql-961-installers-win64?ls=Crossover&type=Crossover
        
<http://www.enterprisedb.com/postgresql-961-installers-win64?ls=Crossover&type=Crossover>

        I'm running Windows 7 in 64 bit VM on a Mac Pro.

        I'm new to this stuff ok? Please go easy on me :-)


    Haven't used this particular install method but the Apt packages I
    use don't setup a password but instead allow for localhost
    connections on a trust basis - and don't listed on TCP/IP sockets by
    default either.  I suspect that this installer is similar.

    Also, I personally find it to be bad form to link directly to a page
    that starts downloading a 120MB software executable when you
    navigate to it.  Wasn't there a landing page with information that
    you could have linked to instead?

    David J.
