PowerShell password authentication failed for user

Question

Hi,
I am learning database management and the course has exercises using PowerShell. We practice creating user by connecting to Postgres, but also to do so locally with command:

PS C:\Users\*me*> createuser --interactive

Enter name of role to add: test_interactive

Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n

Shall the new role be allowed to create database? (y/n) n

Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) y

Password:

Password:

createuser: error: connection to server at "localhost" (: :1), port 5432 failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "*me*"

I have already tried with updating my password, but I still get the same error.
