I have no idea - it's your system :-)
Try setting the password using ALTER USER root WITH PASSWORD 'password';
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-alteruser.html). My
guess is that no password is currently set, so you cannot login remotely
because one is required.
BTW, you might want to change the password entries in pg_hba.conf to md5
as well - this will prevent plain text passwords being sent over the
wire.
Regards, Dave
