password issues

In an attempt to download the PostgreSQL, I inadvertantly
choose to have a random password set. Since the random one
was a mile long, I hit the back key thinking this would allow
me to rechoose a password. Well, I was wrong, I have not
completed the download, and I can not access it since I do
not have the auto generated password. I tried to delete
everything, reboot, then redownload, but no luck. It states
that I already have an account and that my password is oncorrect.

This issue should be fixed in 8.1 - when you go back, you can change the
password, and the account isn't created until the db is actually
installed.

That said, your solution for this problem is to simply remove the
account (using net user /delete or the MMC snapin or whatever method you
prefer) and start over. The installer will detect that it's not there
and ask you to create it again.
