Обсуждение: forgotten password

Hello, I was learning how to use the Postgresql and using the Pgadmin, but I forgot the password. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but it doesn't work, I still need the password to reinstall.

What platform(s) are you on?

What is the 'it' that you reinstalled - PostgreSQL or pgAdmin?

Which password have you forgotten - the password for the system account
under which PostgreSQL runs, or the password to access the database server?

It doesn't matter about pg_hba.conf - no passwords are stored there, it
just sets access rules about who can connect, from where and how.

In that case, you use the normal Windows tools to reset it.
