pgAdmin and terminal: FATAL: password authentication failed for user - postgresql

Question

sup guys!
I'm trying to create a server local in pdAdmin 4, but everytime i'm trying to create i get this error:
[Error in pgAdmin]
in case 'veterano' its my username...
my tries to make this run (but doesnt work)
Checking if Postgres Service is Installed correctly:
$ sudo systemctl is-active postgresql
terminal back:
active
$ sudo systemctl is-enabled postgresql
terminal back:
enabled
$ sudo systemctl status postgresql
terminal back:
active (exited)
$ sudo pg_isready
terminal back:
/var/run/postgresql:5433 - accepting connections
My configuration to pg_hba.conf :
local all postgres peer
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
local replication all peer
host replication all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host replication all ::1/128 md5
(every time after change something in pg_hba.conf I run $ sudo systemctl restart postgresql to restart postgress service.)
Checking psql and the new superusers:
$ sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER
terminal back
createuser: error: creation of new role failed: ERROR: role "veterano" already exists
if I try
psql -U veterano i can login... so i try \du to check list of roles
terminal back
List of roles
Role name | Attributes | Member of
-------------+------------------------------------------------------------+-----------
postgres | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication, Bypass RLS | {}
veterano | Superuser, Create role, Create DB | {}
So I try create a localhost server in terminal:
$ psql -h localhost -d mydatabase -U veterano -p 5432
terminal back:
Password for user veterano:
(I put my password maked with ALTER USER veterano PASSWORD 'newPassword';)
terminal back error
psql: error: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "veterano"
I really don't know what to do... I tried everything and still cant create a local server in pgAdmin 4 or directly in terminal.
Using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
(Sorry for my english )

Answer 1

This is probably too late. but I have the same issue with veterano, and what I did was to change the password for the account "postgres" that I have :
(For those who don't know, postgresql has a user named "postgres" by default after installation)
Steps:
Access PSQL
$ sudo su - postgres
Then try to change the password for "postgres" user by typing :
postgres=# \password
You can then specify any password you want for this account.
Once thats done, you can use pgAdmin to connect using "postgres" username and the password that you just set.

Answer 2

Either you didn't set a password for the user, or you set a different password.
Connect using psql with psql -U veterano and set the password:
veterano=> \password
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
Now you should be good.

Answer 3

Try putting quotation marks '' on your password at your config file.

Answer 4

First we have to get inside postgres through using
sudo -u postgres psql postgres
Enter password for user postgres
Now the terminal will be like this:
postgres=#
Now enter the given line after postgres=#
CREATE USER username WITH PASSWORD 'your password';
(put your password inside quotes('') and don't forget semicolon(;)
