The installer must be asking about the password for system user 'postgres'.=
 To change the password or delete the user itself, "Right Click MyComputer"=
-> Click Manage, Select Local Users and Groups, Select Users You will see t=
he user 'postgres' listed there, you can change the password or delete the =
user.
