Hello there. We in our company using your product of PostgreSQL - 9.1.3 &
8.3. But both of these products results in a Password Error. We all tried
with variuos passwords and got a Single error as Failed... Please respond to
this bug ASAP. Thank you.

You probably have an existing postgres account. Try changing the
password of that account to something that you know, and then using
that password for the installer.

I really wish EDB would add a help link to this part of the installer,
it bits people all the time.

It's on my TODO - added a couple of weeks ago.
