I currently talk to a PostgreSQL 8.2.3 server using PgAdmin 1.6.2 with
MD5 encrypted passwords just fine.
What is the value of "password_encryption" in your PostgreSQL server's
postgresql.conf file?

[root(at)byron ~]# cat /endeavour/dbstore/postgresql.conf|grep
'password_encryption'
password_encryption = on
[root(at)byron ~]#

Try setting it to 'on' and restarting your server.
