Hi!

I've got some problems with PostgreSQL v8.1.3 . My system is Windows XP
Professional Edition.

Here's the deal. For example, when trying to connect to an existing databas,
or even
creating a new one with the command createdb [dbname],
different error occurs.

Another example: when running the command psql,
entering the password and hitting enter,
the following error message occur:

psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "Christo"

Similarly, when testing the TCP/IP connection with the
command psql -U DATABASENAME -W -h localhost the following message shows up

psql: FATAL: database "dspace" does not exist

Do You have any ideas of what the problem could be?

Appreciate the effort!

Best Regards,
Christo
