Hi,

long story short, I need to recover a psql server password stored in pgadmin4.db. I can see the encrypted password, but have no idea how to decrypt it. It also seems salted. Please help.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

You can directly reset the database password,

Hi,

I need to know the password. Changing it doesn't help in my case, unfortunately.
