Hello,
I am brand new to Postgres 9.5 and have just installed it on my Windows
OS, using the Win x86-64 installer, downloaded from:
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#windows
I am trying to setup a new database from the Windows command prompt (run
as admin) and I am being prompted for a password after entering the
command “psql -U postgres” from the directory containing psql.exe.
Are you sure?:

Figure 3.4
At no point during installation was I asked to create a password, so
from reading
http://pgsnake.blogspot.com/2010/07/postgresql-passwords-and-installers.html
, I understand that what I need is a service password. I have tried,
unsuccessfully, to find such a password. The file pgpass.conf
(C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\postgresql\pgpass.conf ) is
blank, and manually entering something produces no results when I try to
type it into the command prompt.
Any ideas on how I can find/set this password?
Thank you,
