Re: Problem with reinstall of PostgreSQL 8.3

Hi,<br /><br /> This happened to me before and the problem was with the 'postgres' Windows account that was created
duringthe first install. If you don't specify a password for this account, the installer will choose a very hard to
guess,hard to remember password :-). I logged in as an administrator and removed the postgres user account and let the
installerre-create it. You also have the option of manually setting the password for this account, then telling the
installerwhat that password is.<br /><br /> I don't know if your problem is the same as the one I experienced, but I
hopethis helps.<br /><br /> Rommel.<br /><br /><br /> Goutham Naval wrote: <blockquote
