Good morning Russell: I've had several password authentication problems on Windows (XP though, not Server 08) specifically when connecting via command line. I worked around it by creating a Windows user account with the same name and password as my role on the Robert E. Clift 850.245.4444 ext 2471

Postgresql 9.1 was installed using the 1 click installer from EnterpriseDB. Postgres installed completely, so I initiated the install for PostGIS. I selected PostGIS 2.0, entered my password for the "postgres" user at the prompt and started the install. The install made it almost to the end, and failed with the following error: createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" I was concerned that I entered the wrong password at the prompt, so I opened up pgAdmin III to test. I was able to log in using the "postgres" user name and the password with no issues. I then tried to install PostGIS 1.5.3, with the same password fail result. Can anyone give me some insight into what I am doing wrong? I am installing onto a server with Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2. Thanks, Russell
