Hi

Im trying to setup hm for a friend. he have windows7.
I wouldnt install postgresqrl with hm so I downloaded it manually.
But it asks for a password in the setup and im not able to reset it because
the briefecase data is empty.
I also tryed to install it agian in a new user account (administrator) with a
password. And we dont know any windows service account passwords for his computer

Any suggestions?:confused:

Thanks in advance!!:D

the default password is postgrespass is that what it's asking for?

Not sure what you mean? It wants a PW for windows? Are you running as an admin? Is his account not admin? Who's account is admin?

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.

Use postgrespass as password

You need to run the cmd box as administrator as Pat explained.

Hi

I have deleted the old password (net user postgres del\) as administrator.
But it still dosent accept postgrespass as the password in the setup for
postgresqrl. I also did it several times and restarted before trying the setup agian, I also tryed to download it agian. And I tryed different versions of postgresqrl. I also tryed other passwords. But nothing seems to help.

Can someone spot what I did wrong?

sorry about my bad english and my non existing skills for setting up the database:(

thanks in advance

Did you get any error message when you entered the command?

The correct syntax is

net user postgres /delete

with spaces between the words and no space between / and delete.

If you cant figure it out: Please schedule a remote support session with our support. Email support@holdemmanager.net, with a link to this thread and your forum name, so we can setup a Teamviewer (http://www.holdemmanager.net/teamviewer) session.

Hi netsrak

syntax: net user postgres /delete did the job.

When I wrote syntax: net user postgres del/ It also said the command was exicuted. :( So I prob just put the / at the wrong place.

Sorry that was silly:rolleyes:

Thanks for the help!!:)
