password authentication failed for user "postgres"

dear friends,

i'm using fedorca core 4 with the default postgres 8 default in it. i also installed pgadminIII versiion 1.4.3. i run postgres in the console with a password, initialized it with initdb --pgdata=/var/lib/pgsql/data, created a database and was able to create and insert table and records respectively. i used sql command select * from table and successfully retrieved the data. i also exited successfully.

however when i used the pgadminIII to connect to the server i am always comfronted with the password authentication problem although i am also using the same pasword similar to the one used in my console postgres entry.

what must be the problem and resolution here? thank you for the kind attention given to this query.

ramon
