You can't assign a new password to a database.

You need to enter the postgres password you entered during the installation.
Some standard passwords are postgrespass, postgres or dbpass

I don't know what happened to your old database.

You can reimport all your hands into the new database from the archive folder (default c:\hmarchive).

If you need the old database it should be saved somewhere on your computer.
Did you reinstall postgresql or what did you change?
To restore your old data you need to follow this FAQ when reinstalling Postgresql:

You can import your hands by reimporting your archive folder in the new database.

If you click on options---> database management--> connect-->
does it find the old database?

When you go to Program Files/PostgreSQL/
-is there a 8.3 and 8.4 folder?
-is there a 8.4 and a 8.4backup07122011 folder?
