This is coming from the server (or at least from whatever client library 
pgAdmin uses to communicate with the server), not from pgAdmin itself - 
it's the standard message you get when the wrong password is supplied.

Make sure that you have entered the correct password for (database user) 
"willitc9888".

On the server or in pgAdmin?

On the server, you execute:

   alter role willitc9888 password 'super-secret-password';

In pgAdmin, you first need to clear whatever password is already saved 
for this server, then set the new one. Right-click the server in the 
tree-view on the left, and click "Clear saved password"; when that's 
done, right-click the server once again, select "Properties", then the 
"Connection" tab, and the password field should be there.

Hope this helps,

Ray.
