[pgadmin-support] weird problem with pgadmin & postgres on debian

[Alessandro @ GMail]

hello there, (it's the first time i use a mailing list...wow!) So, here's my problem: I've installed postgresql on debian as well as pgadmin(everything updated to last version). Now, when i try to access my server on localhost with pgadmin, i cannot enter because it asks me the password. But i have no password, as it's just a first-time learning-purpose install! If i simply leave the password field empty, it rejects my login( "Error connecting to the server: fe_sendauth: no password supplied" ). But, if i try to access the server with 'psql testdatabase' from a terminal, i am able to enter, and work normally. I've also installed postgresql & pgadmin on windows xp (database different from the linux one) and pgadmin acts normally, letting me login and managing databases without any problem. What's wrong? thx
