Hi Postgres,

My installation of Postgress 9.6 did not include any setting of a SuperUser password so I'm at a loss.

Do I have a bad installation?

I got it here:


I'm running Windows 7 in 64 bit VM on a Mac Pro.

I'm new to this stuff ok? Please go easy on me :-)


Haven't used this particular install method but the Apt packages I use don't setup a password but instead allow for localhost connections on a trust basis - and don't listed on TCP/IP sockets by default either.  I suspect that this installer is similar.

Also, I personally find it to be bad form to link directly to a page that starts downloading a 120MB software executable when you navigate to it.  Wasn't there a landing page with information that you could have linked to instead?
