Subject: Unable to use pgadmin4 for any purpose after 3 days of trying

Hi. 

No matter what I do, I cannot connect to any databases using pgadmin4. 

I am using a Mac (Ventura), and downloaded postgreSQL@14 via brew. 

By default, I am a superuser with psql, and that works normally. 

However, with pgadmin4, I am ‘postgres’ and cannot access any databases, due to a connection error.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. At this point, I cannot even run the software because of this issue. 




This is the most frustrating experience I have ever had with software installation by a fair margin, but I really need to learn SQL and would like to use this tool. 

Is there any way to completely uninstall it, and start again, and get the permissions resolved? I have spent days asking chatbots to resolve this issue but their help was insufficient. Again, psql works fine, but I want to be able to follow along with a course taught with the actual tool. 

Thanks, 

Brian
