Lets stick with on thing. For now use the following:

psql -d PDW -U postgres -h localhost

At this point it is important to be clear on what password you are using
for the postgres user. As I posted before it should be the one you used
when filling out the Server properties in PgAdmin. Is that the case?
We will worry about loading the file once we have figured out what it
takes to connect.

There is only one password that I entered during the installation and I used
the same password to connect PG Admin.
