Hi,
 
I am using postgresql windows based "8.0-beta2-dev3". I have provided default user and password while installing. When i am trying to connecto to psql through dos command prompt, i am getting following error:
 
[D:\Postgresql\8.0-beta2-dev3\bin]psql
psql: FATAL:  Password authentication failed for user "Administrator"
 
I dont have user named "Administrator", i have only user "postgres" and my "pg_hba.conf" details are:
 
# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD
local   all         postgres                          md5
# IPv4-style local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5
# IPv6-style local connections:
#host    all         all         ::1/128               md5
 
My question is how to connect postgres through the dos command prompt, to use commands such as pg_dump etc..
 
thanks,
kuru
