Subject: [GENERAL] postgres service account

hi

 

I just installed postgres 8.0.1 yesterday on my windows xp machine and it created a service account with an auto-generated password .

 

pliz help me on how to remove/delete this account. 

 

i tried reinstalling but it couldn't be changed and i couldn't find it any, where is it stored anyway.

I found this same problem.  The uninstall really needs to remove this
account.  Either that, or the next install process needs to be able
to get the random password somehow.

Open a command prompt, then use the command "net user /delete
postgres" to get rid of the account. "net user" shows all users.

Why don't you try to use another account for the service - while
reinstalling just fill in 'posgres2' as service account...

Best regards,
