[postgis-users] postGIS install question- user permissions not accepted by the DB

[brooks.glenn at comcast.net]

Hi,

Sorry to bug you all with a simple question.  

I have tried to re-install postgis into my postgres directory,( Window XP 
machine, Postgres 8x) but during the install routine I get the following error 
message:

"Could not connect to database postgres  Password authentication failed for user 
postgres"

I previously uninstalled postgis and postgres because of an unrelated problem 
with another app and am now trying to reinstall functionality to use it with my 
GIS data and mapserver.

Can you advise me what to do?

thanks
