Thread: R: Re: postgres user password: Log on failure
Hi guys, Thanks for taking time to reply. - Despite what the error message says, the user postgres doesn't have administrator privileges (and I don't see why these would change by retyping the password). - In Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Manager -> Users -> postgres I see that postgres is member of the 'Users' group and its password never expires. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here...

Have you checked if the 'postgres' user is allowed to "login as a service" in local/group policy? The error about admin privileges may be masking the fact the postgres user is trying to start a service, without the policy rights. Cheers, Dagan McGregor
