Re: postgres service account

I found this same problem.  The uninstall really needs to remove this
account.  Either that, or the next install process needs to be able
to get the random password somehow.

Open a command prompt, then use the command "net user /delete
postgres" to get rid of the account. "net user" shows all users.

Why don't you try to use another account for the service - while
reinstalling just fill in 'posgres2' as service account...

Best regards,
