For security reasons I would like to change the default username/password that HEM uses for the postgres database. Can anyone tell me how to do this safely?

Thanks for any advice,

Guy.

click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /del' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.

Pick a new password during the SQL install

Hi Patvs,

Thanks for your reply. If I do not want to reinstall postgres, just change the username/password is that possible?

Thanks,

Guy.
