This is a PostgreSQL issue rather than a pgAdmin one - as the message
says, the password you are supplying for user "postgres" is incorrect.
As the PostgreSQL server is on your local Mac, you ought to be able to
change it easily. One way is to edit pg_hba.conf and set the appropriate
authentication mechanism to "trust", so that a password isn't required
at all.... you can then connect and set the password for the "postgres"
user:
alter role postgres password 'your new password';
Don't forget to change the authentication mechanism in pg_hba.conf back
to what it was.
Hope this helps,
Ray.
