OK, I think I should tell you folks that I am a newbie. I am using
postgresql to learn the SQL for the purpose of learning storing the data in
my c++ application. I have near zero knowledge of SQL or PostgreSQL for that
matter.
When I type C:\pgsql, I am asked to entered a password, but I don't recall
the any passwords I might've set up at installation time.
thanks

I am using windows 8.1 and what I believe to be the latest version of

Would it be better to reinstall postgresql?
So what password are you talking about?
I doubt this requires reinstalling.

After installing PostgreSQL I lost the password, how can I recover it?
What OS?
How did you install?
What password are you talking about?
Assuming you are talking about a Postgres password, take a look at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html
From there you can set the local connection to trust and then access
Postgres. From there you can reset the password using ALTER USER:
