This error message is indicating that the role "root" does not exist in your PostgreSQL database, which is preventing a successful connection to the database server. 

In PostgreSQL, roles are used to manage authentication and access control. By default, the only role that exists is the "postgres" role, which has superuser privileges. It is generally not recommended to use the "postgres" role for regular database access, so it's common to create additional roles for specific purposes.

To resolve this error, you should try connecting to the database using a different role that exists in your database. For example, if you have created a role named "myuser", you can try connecting with that role using the following command:

```
psql -U myuser -d mydatabase
```

Replace "myuser" with the name of the role you want to use for the connection, and "mydatabase" with the name of the database you want to connect to.

If you don't have any existing roles in your database, you will need to create one before you can connect. You can do this by logging in as the "postgres" role (if you have access to it) and running the following command:

```
CREATE ROLE myuser WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'mypassword';
```

Replace "myuser" with the desired name of the role, and "mypassword" with a strong password for the role.

Once you have created the role, you can use it to connect to the database as described above.
