I have a new 9.5 installation, Windows x64, developer only. No users have been added, and no passwords set.
I can access the system: * using pgAdmin3, without specifying a user or password * using psql, specifying user ‘postgres’ but no password I cannot access the system with various other tools that require a connection string eg password authentication failed for user "postgres" There is a ‘postgres’ user defined in pg_shadow with password of : "md5a19959576d12fc69375fc3dadaeab90b" What is going on here? Is there a password for user ‘postgres’ or isn’t there? What is it? Why don’t I need it sometimes, and I do other times? Regards David M Bennett FACS _____ Andl - A New Database Language - andl.org
