Hi, I hope this is the correct place to post about my problem. If not, please direct me or move this thread to where it should be.
My laptop's hard drive was damaged recently but I was able to back up some data, and have been able to retrieve the postgresql folder in program files within the hard drive. Since this was about 39 gb I presumed it to be where the database was stored. I am not sure what the next steps are towards getting my database functioning as it was before. I have downloaded holdem manager and re-entered my serial number and then it comes to the sql connection window. All the files from a the postgresql folder in my old database are on my hard drive. I have downloaded the postresql installer and got to the stage asking for "a password for the database superuser and service account (postgres)". I don't know if this would be an old password or what so I haven't continued with the installation. I hope I have explained the situation ok, any questions please ask. By the way, upon clicking the link for "Postgresql install instructions", it takes me to a page with a link to a setup package which is a zip file which doesn't seem to be active any more. My installation package was downloaded from http://www.postgresql.org/download.
I appreciate any help on this matter. I just hope I will be able to get my database functioning once again!
