WinXP Install - Account Password Information

hi all,

during the 8.0.4 installation of pgsql, you are asked
for two passwords.

1. the account password
2. the db user password (as you know, postgres is the
db user name)

i understand the latter password and how to update it.

i don't understand the former password and i don't
understand how to change. i googled it and i did a
quick search on postgresql.org, but came up empty.

can someone provide a quick overview of the account
password mechanics and explain how to update that
password to something new.

tia...

to help future googlers find this theead - pgsql
