I keep getting the following error: panic: pq: password authentication failed for user "bond"

I cannot find what's wrong with the code, as it's the one that was used in the course, and in the course it ran perfectly.
Can you find the problem?

GO CODE:

package main

import (
"database/sql"
"fmt"

_ "github.com/lib/pq"

)

func main() {
db, err := sql.Open("postgres", "postgres://bond:password@localhost/bookstore?sslmode=disable")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer db.Close()

err = db.Ping() //"Ping" checks if a connection to a database is still live, and returns an error if it isnt (so if theres no error it means its connected).
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("You've connected to your database")

}

postgreSQL CODE:

postgres=# CREATE DATABASE bookstore;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# CREATE USER bond WITH PASSWORD 'password';
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE bookstore to bond;
GRANT
