If there's no pgpass.conf file, then that's why you're being asked for
your password - it hasn't been saved.

You should try entering the password and ticking the box to save it, and
see if the pgpass.conf gets created. If it doesn't, you need to figure
out why (permissions maybe?). If it does get created, and then is
deleted at a later point, you need to find out what's deleting it; from
what I understand it's unlikely to be pgAdmin.
