Logged by: JOSHUA CABANILLAS
Email address: joshcabara22@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 18.4
Operating system: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
Description:
So I just gave up on trying to fix it for my own and followed through this
forum to submit it as a bug report.
Any guidance for fixing this error will be appreciated.
The bug report form is not the place to obtain help using the product. The -general mailing list or other community resources like Slack and Discord are.
That said, the password you need to supply when logging into PostgreSQL is whatever password the database has recorded for the user in question. The operating system password is not relevant.
There are quite a few guides out there explaining how the PostgreSQL authentication works on Linux. (The docs are a bit more generic.) One thing to note - usually you want to keep the postgres user authenticating via peer authentication. Removing pgAdmin from the stack for the moment and getting everything working using psql is also advised.
