Connect to PostgreSql as Postgres user (default database user): psql yourdb -U Postgres
then you will be asked for password selected during the installation. Hope this will help.

I am a complete newbee to Postgres. Have installed Postgres on Windows 2003 server SP1 a week back. When I try to log-in to the server (by writting psql mydb at command prompt in postgres/bin directory), I keep getting a message "psal: FATAL: password authentication failed for user"Administrator". I have installed Postgres as an Administrator and log-in to the server as administrator. I don't think I am making mistake in entering the password. It's quite frustrating. Will someone please help?
