A lot of this basic stuff is pretty accessible in the documentation -
have you read up on it there?

Having said that, what you need to do is use the -U option to specify
the Postgres user to use for the connection; if you don't, Postgres will
try to authenticate you as the Windows account under which you're logged
in. Look it up in the docs.
