对于Windows安装，将创建Windows用户。“psql”使用该用户连接到端口。如果您更改了PostgreSQL用户的密码，它不会更改Windows用户的密码。 只有当您可以访问命令行时，下面的命令行才能工作。

相反，您可以使用Windows GUI应用程序“c:\Windows\system32\lusrmgr.exe”。这个应用程序管理由Windows创建的用户。现在可以修改密码了。

Find the file pg_hba.conf. It may be located, for example, in /etc/postgresql-9.1/pg_hba.conf. cd /etc/postgresql-9.1/ Back it up cp pg_hba.conf pg_hba.conf-backup Place the following line (as either the first uncommented line, or as the only one): For all occurrence of below (local and host) , except replication section if you don't have any it has to be changed as follow ,no MD5 or Peer authentication should be present. local all all trust Restart your PostgreSQL server (e.g., on Linux:) sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart If the service (daemon) doesn't start reporting in log file: local connections are not supported by this build you should change local all all trust to host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust You can now connect as any user. Connect as the superuser postgres (note, the superuser name may be different in your installation. In some systems it is called pgsql, for example.) psql -U postgres or psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres (note that with the first command you will not always be connected with local host) Reset the password ('replace my_user_name with postgres since you are resetting the postgres user) ALTER USER my_user_name with password 'my_secure_password'; Restore the old pg_hba.conf file as it is very dangerous to keep around cp pg_hba.conf-backup pg_hba.conf Restart the server, in order to run with the safe pg_hba.conf file sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart

关于pg_hba文件的进一步阅读:19.1。pg_hba.conf文件(正式文档)

我没能在C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\ data文件夹中找到pg_hba.conf文件，因为根本没有文件夹数据。

我通过使用pgAdmin创建一个新用户并赋予其超级系统管理员权限来解决这个问题。

当从命令行连接到PostgreSQL时，不要忘记添加-h localhost作为命令行参数。如果不是，PostgreSQL将尝试使用PEER认证模式进行连接。

下面显示了密码重置、使用PEER身份验证登录失败和使用TCP连接登录成功。

# sudo -u postgres psql

could not change directory to "/root"
psql (9.1.11)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# \password
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
postgres=# \q

失败:

# psql -U postgres -W

Password for user postgres:
psql: FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"

使用-h localhost:

# psql -U postgres -W  -h localhost

Password for user postgres:
psql (9.1.11)
SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=#

pg_hba.conf (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\data)文件在给出这些答案后发生了变化。在Windows中，对我有用的是打开文件并将METHOD从md5更改为trust:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust

然后，我使用pgAdmin III在没有密码的情况下登录，通过“文件→更改密码”菜单修改了用户postgres的密码。

将下面的代码添加到pg_hba.conf文件中。PostgreSQL的安装目录中会出现哪个

hostnossl    all          all            0.0.0.0/0  trust

它将开始工作。
