Restore or convert file.dump into pgAdmin

Question

I have a problem with a dump file that client give me to make a file to connect with postgres database in php, and I do this first

1. Rename this file ssdf_master.dump to ssdf_master.sql to execute in pgAdmin or Navicat but doesn't work.
2. Run this pg_restore ssdf_master.dump and ask for a password and type password that I save in pgAdmin but not.

My ssdf_master.dump has characteres like \N and . and when run that file in navicat display this error:

[Err] ERROR:  error de sintaxis en o cerca de «01»
LINE 784: 01 Aguascalientes AGS 00000 99999 \N

Extract of file

--

SET statement_timeout = 0;
SET client_encoding = 'LATIN1';
SET standard_conforming_strings = off;
SET check_function_bodies = false;
SET client_min_messages = warning;
SET escape_string_warning = off;

CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql;


ALTER PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql OWNER TO postgres;

SET search_path = public, pg_catalog;

SET default_tablespace = '';

SET default_with_oids = false;

--
-- Name: scg; Type: TABLE; Schema: public; Owner: postgres; Tablespace: 
--

CREATE TABLE scg (
    base_datos character varying(8),
    ip character varying(15),
    tipo character(1),
    owner character varying(8),
    own_passwd character varying(8)
);


ALTER TABLE public.scg OWNER TO postgres;

--
-- Data for Name: scg; Type: TABLE DATA; Schema: public; Owner: postgres
--

COPY scg (base_datos, ip, tipo, owner, own_passwd) FROM stdin;
SCGDGCA 10.18.20.150    E   postgres    postgres
SCGSJ   10.18.20.150    E   postgres    postgres
SCGDPRE 10.18.20.150    E   postgres    postgres
SCGDSSA 10.18.20.150    E   postgres    postgres
SCGDAFI 10.18.20.150    E   postgres    postgres
SCGSDA  10.18.20.150    E   postgres    postgres
SCGDPRED    10.18.20.150    E   postgres    postgres
\.

Note: Previously, I create a database called postgres with user postgres without pasword.

I hope I have explained!

According to the extract of the file, this is a dump in plain text format.

It should not to be passed to pg_restore because:

pg_restore is a utility for restoring a PostgreSQL database from an archive created by pg_dump(1) in one of the non-plain-text formats

Rather it should be fed directly to psql when connected to an already created database, presumably empty. The objects seem to be owned by postgres, so this should do:

psql -U postgres -d yourdbname < dumpfile
