i was installing holdem manager when it gets interrupted with this "postgressql was detected on your system, but we couldn't connect to it. please try a new username and password." i tried their two suggested methods to fix the problem, the different pass "dbpass" and changing the md5 to truths in the data script, but neither worked. suggestions?

You are supposed to change it to 'trust'.

PT3's default name/password is - postgres/dbpass
HM's default name/password is - postgres/postgrespass

Start HM > Options > Database Management > Password:

If that doesnt help:

1. Go to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.x\data, move the the pg_hba file to your Desktop and open it with notepad.
2. Scroll to the bottom and change all md5 to trust. Save and close the file
3. Move the file back to the data folder
4. Restart the PostgreSQL service: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

HM will accept any password now.

What was postgresql installed for previously? PT2 or PT3? It may be easier to just schedule a remote support session so I can look at your machine personally. Please email me at fozzy@holdemmanager.net, with a link to this thread, and your forum name, so we can schedule a Teamviewer session. Download the Teamviewer Quick Support Module - http://www.holdemmanager.net/teamviewer. Please let me know what time zone you are in and what time/days are convenient for you. I schedule support from 12:00 - 22:00 EDT, 7 days a week.
