I never should have done this. Because when I now want to start the server and left the password-field empty I get an password-error. I can’t undo it anymore. Also changing the requirement of a password to “no” doesn’t work anymore. How can I start the Database Server 8.0 now? I have the Version 1.2.1 of pgAdmin III for widnows.
