Hi admin,
We desperately need assistance to regain access to our DB, *TSAOMS
Droplet. *Our developer (*Fred Omala*) has gone AWOL and our clients
cannot access our solution.
We humbly request your assistance to reset the database password allowing
us to regain control and solve our client's (Tensenses Africa, TSA)
challenges. We are not trading at the moment due to this issue and the
situation is becoming dire by the minute.
I've attached a screenshot of our systems attached to this database.
Please urgently help.
best regards,
*munyutu waigi*

If local connections are allowed "trust" or "peer" authentication in
pg_hba.conf, log into the database server as user "postgres"
and start "psql". Then you can use ALTER ROLE to change database
passwords.
If all fails, you'll have to stop the database server and start
it in single user mode (as operating system user "postgres"):
postgres --single -D /your/database/directory postgres
Then you are connected with superuser permissions and can change
passwords.
If all that is too complicated for you, contact a support company.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Hi Munyutu,
Make necessary changes in your pg_hba conf file for local connections to
trust authentication and reload this config file.
This will help you to get into the database without prompting any
password. Once logged into the database change password by using *a**lter
user your_username with password '<user_password>'; * command for your
particular user.

Hi guys,
Thank you for your response. We were hacked (48hrs ago) by a Chinese IP
address 121.18.238.39
Our developer has resolved the matter. Thank you again for your response.
