Can you provide information on what OS you are using? It may just be a configuration issue. I had to edit the postgresql pg_hba.conf file on my ubuntu setup to make it less strict (for development purposes). https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL read on 'managing the server' section to get an idea. Hope this helps.
