/><br/> That's intentional. A failed connection attempt causes the password to<br /> be dropped to prevent you getting
stuckin a situation where you<br /> cannot login without manually editing the file to get round some<br /> random

ratherhave a separate option somewhere to connect without saved password.<br /><br />Our product "embeds" PG so all the
non-techemployees (like the sales guys) have it running on their computers. They call me for help and I connect to
themand fail and tell them to turn off their firewall or whatever (again) and then I have to lookup their password. My
usagemay not be common enough for a generic tool to deal with, but it certainly is annoying.<br />
