Password authentication failed for user "qliksenserepository".

I'm getting constant errors like this in an event viewer:

The description for Event ID 0 from source PostgreSQL cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

FATAL: password authentication failed for user "qliksenserepository"
DETAIL: Password does not match for user "qliksenserepository".
Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 80: "host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5"

 

I've found this solution: https://support.qlik.com/articles/000060297, but I didn't change the password. Is there any other possibility why I get those errors before I start changing passwords in postgres?

 

Edit: I'm also getting "Audit Failure" in Windows Logs, Security:

An account failed to log on.

Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.

Caller Process Name: C:\Windows\System32\lsass.exe

Edit2: I followed the solution from link but the problem stays on.

Hi @matKa ,

did you solve this problem in the meantime?

I am currently in a similar situation and the event log is flooded with the same error message.

Any hint?

Does there is any workaround for this issue ?
