Hi,
which version of postgres do you have? Put this temporarly into
the /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf:
if postgres 8:
local all postgres 127.0.0.1/32 trust
if postgres 7:
local all trust
then connect to template1...:
psql -U postgres -d template1
....and set your password:
alter user postgres with encrypted password 'blablubb';
i hope this works.
regards,
martin
