I installed pgadmin4 on ubuntu 18.04 with the command:
sudo apt-get install pgadmin4 pgadmin4-apache2
During installation as usual I was prompted for an email and password, so I provided my email and a password. After installation when I try to login to pgadmin4 homepage with that email, I get the error:
specified user does not exist
I probably provided my email with some typo during installation. How do I solve this problem now? Is it possible to reset email without re-installing pgadmin4?
I found the db location where my credentials are stored.
var/lib/pgadmin/pgadmin4.db
In user table credentials are stored.
Funny thing is that postgres#localhost is appended right before my email. While providing email didn't expected them to be appended to my email address.
So to update my credentials I installed SQLite 3 and sqlitebrowser by following this tutorial.
I had to change permission of pgadmin folder and pgadmin4.db file. Rest was easy-
open sql browser
click on open database
click on browse data
select table user
update emeil address and save changes. Done

I am a student. I've created a Rails/React project using PostgreSQL. I downloaded DBeaver so that I can view my database but cannot get DBeaver to connect, and have spent a couple of hours trying to solve this.
I attempt to set up DBeaver for PostgreSQL, click "New Connection," leave all defaults set and click "Finish" when I'm met with the following error:
The server requested password-based authentication, but no password was provided.
I am pretty certain that I never entered a password for this database. I saw it suggested that the default password is "postgres" but I tried that with no success. In terminal when I run "psql --list" I can see my DB's name and I can see that I am the owner.
I am running a Debian distro, if that makes any difference. I installed DBrowser through Synaptic. I'd appreciate any assistance.
I am unable to reset the owner password for ActiveCollab v5.
Emails are not configured, so forgot password option is useless.
I have access to PHPMyAdmin, but am unable to reset the password.
Any help is appreciated.
Setting password directly in the database is not recommended. Instead, there's a command in ActiveCollab's command line utility that lets you set user's password. Navigate your terminal to a directory where ActiveCollab is installed and run:
php tasks/activecollab-cli.php user:set_password you#your-company.com
System will prompt you for a new password and set it.
If ActiveCollab's CLI tool complains that user:set_password command is not present, you are using an older version of ActiveCollab, and you should upgrade first. This can be done through command line as well. Here's the help article that goes into more details:

Here is the database I am trying to install (comes with 4 short instructions very easy to follow): https://github.com/toddwschneider/nyc-taxi-data
I used git clone to bring the repository down to my vm. And next I cd into it and run initialize_database.sh. Here is what happens:
pic of terminal
the password I am trying to use is the one provided by my Bitnami Launchpad, which says the admin user is postgres, but when I work on it it says kzherbert, my google account. I have tried su postgres but its not a user on the server so it doesnt work like that. I can use postgres password for psql -U postgres, which will take me to the psql terminal. Also, I have tried using my google account password as well and it does not work. What really interests me about the picture is where the shapefile is relevant and why it repeats and doesnt allow me to exit
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
The problem is that the database you are trying to install (Unified New York City Taxi and Uber data) assumes you're installing PostreSQl from scratch instead of using the one included in the Bitnami Image.
The script you're using assumes that the user to connect the database is the same that the System User you're using to connect to your server via SSH (kzherbert in your case). However, the password you're trying to use is the one for the user postgres.
You need to connect to PG using the password Google provided you and the user postgres and the create an user kzherbert with the password you desire.
I'm trying to use postgresql with Rails so I can run locally before deploying to Heroku. I installed the latest version of postgresql (9.2.4) from enterprisedb.com.
When I try to double click the database in pgAdmin III, it asks for a postgresql password. There is no Windows postgresql account in the user settings. I did notice that during my subsequent uninstallation of the application, the uninstaller referenced a service user account "NetworkService."
If I try to run the command line psql command, it asks for a password, then it complains that authentication failed for (my windows login account name). I tried entering my usual Windows account password, and that didn't work.
What's going wrong here? I've read many posts of people running into password/account issues with this database.
There is no Windows postgresql account in the user settings.
The installer for 9.2 doesn't create a postgres Windows user account. People were having too many problems with the service account password, getting confused between the service account and the postgres database account, etc. It now installs and runs as NETWORKSERVICE by default.
You will have set a PostgreSQL database password when you installed. You must log in to PostgreSQL as the postgres user with the password you gave during installation.
With the help of bma, I was able to get my Rails application running on Windows by following these steps:
Install postgresql for Windows.
Open the pgAdmin III application from the Windows Start Menu.
Click on the File menu, click Open pg_hba.conf
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.2\data\pg_hba.conf.
Double click each of the rows and change md5 to trust
I accidentally deleted the user 'postgres' user the #userdel command and no longer have access to the database.
What can I do to create a new postgres user and how can I start postgresql again?
If I have to re-install postgresql, do I just delete my current postgres setup by removing the /usr/local/postgresql-8.3.6/ directory?
NOTE: I have no idea how to start postgresql. I basically downloaded a gzip file and unloaded it into a directory /usr/local/postgresql-8.3.6
Recreate the user - there's nothing special about it. Except it has no password ("!" in the password field in "/etc/shadow"), but that's normal for service accounts.
And you need this system account only for running the service.
If you have downloaded the source ("I basically downloaded a gzip file...") then you need to follow the installation instructions here to make a working installation out of it.
Easier would be to install the provided pre-packaged version of Postgres from Debian:
apt-get install postgresql-8.3 postgresql-contrib-8.3
