That user account also has a password. PLEASE make sure that there is not some allready installed PostgreSQL that is used for something. IF you are totally sure that there is not some allready installed / running / used PostrgeSQL on that computer, you can: To solve your immediate problem: within control panel go to management, users and group, and change the password of the postgres user account to something you remember. best wishes Harald -- Harald Armin Massa www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support 2ndQuadrant Deutschland GmbH GF: Harald Armin Massa Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 736399
