Can you connect to the database to start with? If you can, then you're OK - if not, you need a password (or access to the server's pg_hba.conf file.)

To get the password dialogue shown in that website, connect to the Postgres server, and on the File menu, click "Change Password." Or, extend "Logins", right-click the user to change the password for, and click Properties - key a new password (twice) and OK, you're good to go.

Hi:

I was hoping you could help me out. I'm brand new to postgres, so assume I know nothing.

I'm having trouble doing something you'd think is very simple, change the postgres password.

If you go to this page:

http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.6/using.html

It says there is a change pwd dialog, which is displayed on this page:

http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.6/password.html

HOWEVER, it does not tell you how to get to the password.html page within pgadmin. I've tried the web, clicking around in pgadmin, and pgadmin help and silly me can't figure it out.

Can you help?
