Hi Guys,

I install Postgres 8.1.3 on WinXP Pro OS using msi.exe. Using Postgres with PGAdmin III, everything works well. But
whenI'm trying to use the psql terminal interface to connect into my database  psql ask me to enter my password and
whentrying to enter my password, nothing happens from my keyboard.  
Exemple : postgres=# \connectdb postgres
Password for postgres user: unable to type my password cursor doesn't work
And when I press Enter tab I get the following error:
"FATAL: password authentication failed for user  Postgres

who can help me to solve this
Thank



Tahir Tamba
