 Hi,after fixing pg_hba.conf with host    "all            
postgres             localhost               trust" i
started psql or pgadmin and i tryed to log in but i still had to type
a password.
After fixing the file .conf i restarted the service with no luck.
Any hint?

Thank you

Sharon

 Fix your pg_hba.conf file to not require a password from the affected
 user, reload it and then login and do a good pw reset and set
 valid-until to infinity..

 alter role postgres password 'good-pw' valid until 'infinity';
