If you need more specifics, you will probably need to give more
specifics like OS and version.

Ok. but I have a problem. When i double-click, a black window appears,
prompting for password. But I can't input anything! Cursor is just
blinking. I'm typing and nothing apears. If I click enter, pg_dumpall
just closes... Postgres 8.02 is installed on Windows XP...

Don't double-click on the application....open a console window first by
going to Start -> All programs -> Accessiories -> Command prompt,
then run it by typing (and substituing as necessary for the bits in <...>):

c:\<path to installation>\bin\pg_dumpall <options>

I'd recommend including the option -U <Postgres user> which makes
the connection as that user - otherwise it tries to connect as the
Windows user under which you're current logged into the machine,
and if there is no corresponding user in Postgres the connection will
fail.
