Hi
I tried to install postgres (before HE without turning my user account off) and either installed it or got half way and quit. Upon returning I had forgotten the password. Now if I delete the software and re-install it still asks for this password. I had a computer savvy friend come over and help but to no avail. If I try and install it now and I provide a password it gives the following message "the password specified was incorrect. Please enter the correct password for the postgres windows user account". I believe somewhere this password has been registered and won't go away even if the software is deleted. Any help much appreciated! PS I use windows vista and my friend turned my user account control off. Why on earth is there not a retrieve password function - unbelievable.
I have no program files for postgres on my computer so I can't alter the pga file as I have read on another thread on the postgres site.
Thanks Marty.
