Creating new user in vers 7.02 and pgaccess

Hello the List:

Connected to template1 as user 'postgres'.
Creating a new user reported an error in SQL parsing.
Found that I could create a new user by omitting any password.
Was able to edit that new user to super user privileges.
Attempting to add a password again reported the query parsing error.

Can login to template1 with the non-passworded new user.

Thanks for your help.
