Code:
su - postgres
psql template1 postgres
update pg_database set encoding = pg_char_to_encoding('NEWENCODING');
After this, from now on all databases will be created with the new encoding. This only works, of course, if you want all databases to be the same encoding.

Hello,


But before doing this i am not able to

psql -U postgres -w

this command is not accepting the password

and hence i am unable to login as postgres user and do the other tasks ?

does anyone know why ?
