Обсуждение: New installation woes
I have just installed pgAdmin4 V9.9.1 on my Rocky Linux 9 laptop using dnf. The install looked to be successful but when I fire up pgAdmin4 in either desktop or web mode, it wants an email address and password. The installation did not include /usr/pgadmin4/bin/setup-pgadmin.sh and /usr/pgadmin4/bin/setup-web.sh did not create an account. No known combination of email and password is accepted. How do I get past square one? Cheers and thanks, Stephen
Hi Stephen,
Did you have any existing installation? It will not setup again if there is any existing config data available.

Hi Stephen,
Uninstall pgAdmin, look for /var/lib/pgadmin/ and /home/<user>/.pgadmin/ directories and remove them for a clean uninstall.

I tried installing back in July but due to issues there and elsewhere, wound up uninstalling and reinstalling pgAdmin.
If, as you suggest, there are bits left over, what can I do to recover/destroy them?
I am not clear as to what "the email associated with your account" means.
Which account? If I have multiple emails on the same server, does it matter which one I use?
If Postresql is on one machine and pgAdmin is on another, is anything different?
Thanks,
