PostgreSQL version: 8.4.4-1
Operating system:   Windows 2003 Server
Description:        Problem during Instalation
Details:

When I try to install postgres it asks for a password.
It says that if the service already exists I should put the current
password, otherwise a service will be created with new password.

I've neves installed postgres before. What kind of password is that? I can't
install postgres here.
Since you dont have a 'postgres' user, Just give any password and the a new user 'postgres' will be created with the supplied password which then will be used as the service account owner of PostgreSQL service.

In case you have a postgres user pre-existing on your system, supply its password when asked by the installer.

You can anytime change the password by going to administartive tasks--> Users and groups ..
Thanks!
