The default password we use is 'dbpass' (without the quotes), but if that does not work you can remove the password requirement by following this tutorial. If you cannot follow the steps of that tutorial because PostgreSQL has been uninstalled in the cleaning, you will need to reinstall it in order for PT3 to function properly.
