Error Connecting to the Server

Question

I got the following error in my windows PC when I tried to connect server in postgreSQL

An error has occured:
Error connecting to the server: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

I guess you have the wrong password? – Jonathan Potter Oct 14 '14 at 07:39 — Jonathan Potter, Oct 14 '14 at 07:39

Perhaps you should check if the username is correct.

I understand the reason. Just telling you why I used answer instead of comment. Anyway - suggestion to check username seems valid to me. – Bartosz Janik Oct 14 '14 at 07:52
I agree that it is a valid question to ask given the details available. If you edit your question to be in the form of an answer / solution I'll remove the downvote. :) – Vegard Oct 14 '14 at 07:55
Ok. Now it's more of a suggestion :) – Bartosz Janik Oct 14 '14 at 07:57
