Issue with data import: fe_sendauth: no password supplied

[curiousaboutgis]

Hello! I am trying to start osm2pgrouting by loading osm data into it, but I get the following error message:

osm2pgrouting --f your-OSM-XML-File.osm --conf mapconfig.xml --dbname routing --username postgres --clean

Execution starts at: Tue Jul 14 15:40:48 2020
` COMMAND LINE CONFIGURATION *
Filename = your-OSM-XML-File.osm
Configuration file = mapconfig.xml
host = localhost
port = 5432
dbname = routing
username = postgres
schema=
prefix =
suffix =
Drop tables
Don't create indexes
Don't add OSM nodes

Testing database connection: routing
fe_sendauth: no password supplied
`
This is postgres issue apparently, how could I supply it with password?

Hi @curiousaboutgis . You need to add -W argument with your password.

Hi @curiousaboutgis . You need to add -W argument with your password.

Omg thanks God, it worked. I mean I tried before, but my password for postgres contained symbols like !,1234, and it was written as !,1234, event not recognized. I had to change my password by choosing just letter symbols and it worked!
But now it worked thanks god!

the whole command should look like:
osm2pgrouting --f your-OSM-XML-File.osm --conf mapconfig.xml --dbname routing --username postgres -W yourpassword --clean
