Forgot Admin Password on Postgres (Windows Installation), can't reset

Question

I have a Windows PostgreSQL installation.

According to some posts, there is no default password set for the \'postgres\' user yet I can\'t connect using an empty pa

Answer 1

I was having the same issue and I couldn't use Postgres in the CLI on my windows machine but I managed to trace down where the passwords were stored via

%APPDATA%\PostgreSQL\pgpass.conf 

NB: You must have selected store password option when creating a server or database in the pgAdmin.

I hope this helps. Thanks.
