The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 6429 Logged by: seph Email address: sephal...@hotmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.1.2 Operating system: Windows 7 Description:
i have reached till the point of inserting the password and retyping it for verification during the installation. (I had never installed postgresql on this machine before.)When i pressed next to proceed i got this error message: "The password specified was incorrect. Please enter the correct password for the postgres windows user account." On finding this i re tried the same password to no avail. I am the only one to use this machine. I uninstalled postgresql via control panel and deleted the whole folder where i allowed postgres to be installed(along with it's data folder). Then i downloaded it again, ran the installation, provided the very same password, clicked next and again i got the error message stated above. I googled the problem and found that the problem is related to the service account. i searched for that account but could not find it. i tried a code in the command prompt window ( NET USER <username> / DELETE)that was suggested by postgresql.org, but it said that the account was not found. Hence, i still cannot install postgres. I even tried creating a new user account on windows and downloaded postgresql there and ran the installation but it still failed. I should add that i deleted the whole POSTGRESQL folder from my computer and expected every trace of it to be gone but since no new password is being accepted the original service account must still be somewhere. I want to either delete the service account or retrieve the password that should allow me to install. I am a student and really need postgresql for a module. Please support team, respond as soon as possible since i have a test coming on 8th February.
