My first django app error: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

[Eduardo Hidalgo García]

Hi Guys,

Is my first time working with django, I am following youtubes' tutorial from telusko. However I am having troubles, my computer has the following OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

I am running docker images for the postgres and pgAdmin tools, I set up my password in the docker-compose.yml file and is the one I imputed on the setting.py. However every time I try to run it I receive the following error message:

File "/home/eduardo/Envs/test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 126, in connect
    conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres"
FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "postgres"

I have psycop2 in my test environment for python 3, do you might know why is this happening? and how can I fix this problem?

Thanks!

Eduardo
