Is it possible that createlang is getting a (wrong) password from
someplace?  Say, a PGPASSWORD environment setting, or a .pgpass
config file.
I can't find any PGPASSWORD environment variable, nor could I find a .pgpass 
config file. Where would the config file be located? in data/?
Would it be possible to use such a file for a temporary fix? If so, what is 
the format of the file?
You can use the pgpass file to avoid any password prompting. The details are here:
