If you don't want to manually create a database from postgres shell (you want to use "rake db:create" command)
You'll get this error
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
Make sure you have set the password first after you type "psql".
Just type the command below and you'll get a prompt to enter your password
Thanks for the advice. I wasn't aware that you could or needed to re enter your password for the default postgres user. Being able to create the db from rake db:create would definitely save time. I'll keep this in mind for the future!
