List pgsql-admin

Check your pg_hba.conf file
if the method is password, then create a pasword for postgres user

psql yourdb
alter user postgres  set password = 'pasword'

if you don't want to do that, change pg_hba.conf file and modify the method to trust

then /etc/init.t/./postgresql reload

Hope this will help

I am trying to use PostgreSQL ver. 8.1.4 that comes with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

I cannot log into the postgres server as postgres, it gives the error message “password authentication failed for user “postgres”.

 

Is there a default password?

 

How can I start working with postgres?

 

Regards.
