note that if you change it here, you also need to change it in the
postgres service descriptor, in Control Panel->Administration
Tools->Services


when you initially connect to postgres wtih psql or pgadmin-III, specify
the user as `postgres` and then once connected,

     CREATE USER yourname WITH PASSWORD 'somepass' createdb createrole;

and this will create a SQL account for you with that sql password, and
give this user permission to create databases and roles (users).
