Hi
I have a Server Registration in pgAdmin3 where I would like to change the username/pwd. As this is not editabel in pgAdmin3 (Version 1.10.5), I created another Server Registration with the correct username/pwd.
Can I now savely Delete/Drop the “old” Server Registration without harm to the database (PostgreSQL V8.4.1)?
Regards, Robert
Robert,
That is incorrect. You can change any of the properties of the server registration you want.
Right-clicking is also the way to drop a server registration.
Hi Josh
Thanks, I was looking for just that - and yes, somewhat obvious to disconnect the server registration first
In the mean time I have created another server registration (with the desired username/pwd). Can I savely delete the former server registration? I assume so, as each server registration just points to the server data. So in practice I can create and delete server registrations as I like to (not that it makes normally a lot of sense tough, just for my understanding).
Regards, Robert

- Disconnect from that server.
- Right-click (alternate-click) on the server icon in question.
- One option is “Edit”
- Change username/password.
Right-clicking is also the way to drop a server registration.
I’m sorry, but where is the “Edit” option?? I cannot find that option in the context by a right-click on a server in pgAdmin! Please have a look at the attached screenshot.
Select “Properties”.
Ok, but I cannot change the password there!?
Interesting, I see that too.
Not that I change my password all the time but I thought this was possible in older versions, perhaps I am mistaken.
Anyway, it seems you have to remove the connection and create a new one if you want to change the password.
