I am trying to use Postgres with another application and need to set
up a few things. To start out I tried logging in as the postgres
superuser:

su postgres

where I am asked for the password. I've tried several passwords but
none work. What is the 'default' password after a new install on
10.3 ??

Thanks.

P.S. Tried my normal user password, my root password and 'admin'
and 'Admin".. and even left the password blank. None works.

Hi
I would assume if it's like mysql if you cat /etc/passwd there will be
no login.

Isn't there something like an admin tool, like mysql admin?

If you need to setup ownerships su to root and change the files that
way?
