Re: [pgfsupport - Help] RE: A big red x

Thanks Tom,

Guys,

Let me start at the beginning. I am sure that I am not going to say this efficiently.

I have installed the latest Windows version of PostgreSQL. Everything looks wonderful. The installation process created a guest account Postgres with a password. However from my system adminstrator account I cannot see the Postgres account. However if I try to create such an account, the system says it already exists.

Further, When I go to the services panel it informs me that PostgreSQL is Running.

However after I logoff the System Administrator account and successfully logon to the Postgres account and bring up PGAmin III my singular postgresql database folder has a big red X on it.

I then double click on the DB folder and a box comes up and asks me for a password. I then reply with of course every password I used during the installation and then I try every password I have ever used. Result: nothing.

I cannot believe that this is simply a forgotten pw. Unfortunately i am not smart enough yet to unravel all of your suggestions about permissions and service accounts and sockets.

However if you could lead me in the correct direction I will try to get over these last hurdles

Henry

pS I am running the latest version of WIndows XP
