The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/tutorial-createdb.html Description:
Hi, I'm following your tutorial to learn PostgreSQL. When I try to create a database, I keep getting a "password authentication failed" error, that doesn't let me continue. The problem was not issued in the tutorial. I did a quick googling, and found that the problem was that postgres was installed as admin, so the pass I set up in the installation wizard was for the main admin account, "postgres". Maybe you could add that the solution is pretty simple, just do a: createdb -U postgres mydb, and it will work flawlessly. Thanks for the tutorial!
