If it is asking for a password, and password authentication is what's
supposed to be used, then pg_hba is not where the problem is. What
I think is that the OP has placed his client-side pgpass file in the
wrong place, or given it the wrong name, or the wrong permissions,
or the wrong contents.
I'm not too sure what the right name or place is on Windows, though,
so I have to defer to those who use that platform for more detailed
help.
