Re: Admin user issue: unable to login after changing password

after fixing pg_hba.conf with host    "all             postgres             localhost               trust" i started psql or pgadmin and i tryed to log in but i still had to type a password.
After fixing the file .conf i restarted the service with no luck.
Any hint?

Thank you

Fix your pg_hba.conf file to not require a password from the affected
user, reload it and then login and do a good pw reset and set
valid-until to infinity..


alter role postgres password 'good-pw' valid until 'infinity';
