Trouble converting PT2 database to PostgreSQL

[Boodabor]

Ok so I'm trying to switch from PT2 to PT3, and I want to import all the hands from my PT2 database to a PT3 database. But apparantly I need to convert my PT2 database to PostgreSQL in order to do that. So, following other info. I received from this forum, I uninstalled PT3 and PostgreSQL 8.3 and installed PostgreSQL 8.2.6. Now when I click "start conversion" to convert my PT2 database to PostgreSQL, one of two error messages comes up; either

"Error connecting to the hand history database: 0- transaction already connected" or

"Error connecting to the default PostgreSQL database: 01 - SQSTATE = 08001 FATAL: password authentication failed for user "[insert username]" This could be because you have: 1. Entered the wrong user name/password/server name/port. 2. Not started the PostgreSQL database server 3. Not installed the PostgreSQL ODBC driver. Please click the help link at the top right corner of the window for more details."

I know I have the correct user name/password. The server name is "localhost", the port is 5432, and the ODBC Entry to Use is "PostgreSQL Unicode". Could someone please tell me what I need to do to get my PT2 database converted to PostgreSQL? ty

Restart the computer.
Go to the Start > Programs > PostgreSQL 8.2 > Configuration Files > Edit pg_hba.conf

At the bottom of the file, change both places where it says "MD5" to say "trust" and then save the file and try it again.

I tried this, but the 2nd error message that I mentioned still pops up. I tried a few more times and the 1st error message isn't showing up anymore. Also, it seems to be taking a couple seconds longer now for the error message to appear.

You are still getting the error that the user name/password is wrong?? You shouldn't be if you edited the pg_hba.conf file. Are you running Vista on this computer?

I guess now the error message says "Fatal: role "[insert username]" does not exist", instead of the other Fatal, but nothing else has changed. I am using the same username and password that i used when installing PostgreSQL 8.2.6. And no, I have windows XP on this computer.

On the PostgreSQL Settings window, the user name should be "postgres", what did you enter there??
