Kindly let me know two things to answer you. First, Are you trying to start postgres service or psql prompt? second, what OS is in your use.

User/role information is cluster wide. If you entered the above to access the template then it is in effect for all databases in the cluster. Are you connecting as the user postgres or another user? > > but it is not accepting both the passwords > i am getting incorrect password after three trials it is returning back > to command prompt What is the error message that you are getting? Have you set up the pg_hba.conf file correctly?
