"Null value for 'password'" - PostgreSQL in DataGrip

Question

I have browsed the web but didn't find any answers/solution to my problem, so i hope somebody here can help me:

I have downloaded DataGrip because i wanted to replace pgAdmin 4. When i try to create a PostgreSQL data source and host it locally, i get the following error: "Null value for 'password'". In pgAdmin 4 i do remember creating a password to access my local database when i first set it up, and it worked fine. However, i don't remember creating a password when installing DataGrip. Is there some default password that im not aware of? And what should be written under "User"?

Answer 1

DataGrip can only connect to the server which already exists (and therefore has a password). "Data source" is the term of DataGrip.

In other words, you need to already have a working database on the server with the known credentials.
