I may have found the problem (or at least a way around it) - through another thread search.
The file:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\<your version>\data\pg_hba.conf
..has general connection info for hitting postgres. Mine looked like:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
local all all md5
# IPv4-style local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
:
etc.
I changed the 'md5's to 'trust' for local connections, and the prompting for Password during a .bat batch run of a backup stopped working. I'm a bit of a Postgres rookie, so I'm not sure the ramifications of changing this to 'trust' on a more global security level.

Eric, I will be interested to see someone's response to your message,
because I am having the same problem (in Windows 2003, version 8.0). I want
to use it in a batch file that invokes psql to load a database, etc. without
prompting for a password. I have not tried to use wildcards (defeats the
purpose of what I am doing), but have used the specific values for
hostname:port:database:user:password, with no luck.
I (initially) did not know where %appdata%\postgresql should be; be sure
your pgpass.conf file is in the right place. You can find it by using this
command at the DOS command prompt:
echo %appdata%

Subject: [ADMIN] Windows pgpass Problems..
I have been stuggling all day with the pgpass ability on 8.0 Postgres - on
Windows 2000. I have been to the
documentation:<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/libpq-pgpass.h
tml> After reading many threads on similar problems, I just cannot seem to
get a batch file to recognize that pgpass is there. I have dropped it into
the Application data directory postgresql\pgpass.conf of 'Administrator',
(My windows username), 'postgres', 'All Users', etc, etc. The contents I
have tried for the pgpass file areeach of the combinations of:
localhost:5432:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
127.0.0.1:5432:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
localhost:*:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
127.0.0.1:*:<mydbname>:<dbusername>:<the password>
..and many others
<dbusername> has been postgres and other test superuser accounts. Nothing
seems to work. I have restarted postgres, restarted windows, and it simply
wont take..
Regards,
Eric Emerton
