Hello,
How do I run PostgreSQL with Administrator account in Windows?
I know this is a security issue but I just want to test it in my
Administrator account.
You can't. It is a security issue and we don't allow it.

FYI, there is code in CVS HEAD to allow starting the postmaster from
an admin account via pg_ctl: pg_ctl will give up admin privileges before
launching the postmaster, thereby closing the security hole.

I was thinking of that but I'm new to PostgreSQL so I still don't know
how to compile it. Currently checking
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ_MINGW.html and subscribing to
pgsql-hackers. Thanks
