Don't know how you did that, but it is *not* what you should do.

|

|
| help?

You can find the instructions here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/client-authentication.html

Anyway, if you are in a hurry, you can try to add this line in pg_hba.conf:

host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

this will allow all users on the localhost to connect to the database.
