Thread: initial password

initial password

Hi

 

I have installed postgresql but it seems to be password protected.  When I try and make any entries at the prompt (I am using winXP and have the prompt in the \bin directory) it asks for a password.  I don’t know what to give it.

 

Any help most welcome.

It is asking for the password of the database users.  Did you set one
during install perhaps?
