Wired behaviour from SELECT
Two different SELECT sql statement don't behave the same way.
The below sql statement produces the right output
SELECT nickname, password FROM password WHERE id='0938105618107N1';
nickname | password
-------------+----------
Piccard@@21 | Arbol
(1 row)
However, if this sql statement produces the wrong output
SELECT nickname, password FROM password WHERE nickname='Arbol';
nickname | password
----------+----------
(0 rows)
What am I doing wrong?

Naming a column in your table the same name as the table is problematic
generally. As for the query, if they are both intended to return the same
row the value Arbol is in the password column, not the nickname column.
You seem to have reversed the data for the two columns.

Storing passwords in plain text is the Worst Possible Security Practice

Instead of nickname you probably want tontet where password=`Arbol' .. or
