Delete the postgres user and afterwards try postgrespass again.

click on Start and go to Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

* If you are on Vista, rightclick and choose "Run as Administrator".


A black box should appear. Type 'net user postgres /del' (without the quotes) and press enter.

The user is now deleted and you can (re)install PostgreSQL.

If you delete the postgres user.
It will accept ANY password at the screenshot you posted.

Since the default password is: postgrespass (which we use in Database Management) it's easiest if you also use that
