Re: Chg Pwd Help - Mailing list pgadmin-support

Can you connect to the database to start with?  If you can, then you're OK - if not, you need a password (or access to
theserver's pg_hba.conf file.)<br /><br /> To get the password dialogue shown in that website, connect to the Postgres
server,and on the File menu, click "Change Password."<br /> Or, extend "Logins", right-click the user to change the
passwordfor, and click Properties - key a new password (twice) and OK, you're good to go.<br /><br /> Andy.<br /><br />
