I was able to finally get in with command line psql. I changed all lines in 'pg_hba.conf' to end with 'md5' versus some of them ending in 'ident'.
I also changed the password on the postgres user to match the password on the database user postgres. That was done first, but seemed to have no effect. Maybe the combination worked, but my memomry of my last problems with postgres install say it was just changing the .conf file. I still don't have pgadminIII working yet.
