connection problems due to authentication

Now I am getting this error:

An error has occured in pgAdmin II: frmConnect.cmdConnect_Click:

Number: -2147217843
Description: Password authentication failed for user 'leoj'




I am a user in the database and have set the password to the one I am using when trying to connect.  I looked in the
pg_hba.conffile and saw a reference to the pg_password(1) utility.  I'm not sure what it is but I'm guessing I need to
addthe password someplace else. 

Sorry for the novice questions.  Thanks for your help.

Leo

Can you post the relevant lines of your pg_hba.conf to the list please?

Try losing the 'leoj' from the end of the line. If I remember correctly,
anything after 'password' is taken to be an external password file. Without
it, PostgreSQL should use it's internal pg_shadow table.
