From the user's description, he's using pgAdmin with the 'Use encrypted
passwords when possible' option. If so, pgAdmin will use CREATE/ALTER USER
xxxx WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password' syntax.
What I don't remember though (and can't check right now) is whether the
current version shipped with psqlOBDC 07.01.0009 or later (which is required
to use MD5 passwords).
