Im trying to instal the postgreSQL 8.4 witch I downloaded by the ''poker traker 3 manual uninstall/reinstall postgreSQL 8.4''... but when they ask for the password, I type ''dbpass'', as the manual says, but then this message of warning appear ''the password soecified was incorect. Please enter the correct password for the postgres windows user account''. What do I do?? Is there another password or a new password?

Did you delete the old postgres user as described in the uninstall section of the guide?

From the guide:

It should then say "the command completed successfully". If it does not say this then it failed to delete the postgres service account user due to insufficient privileges. Go back to the step for Windows Vista & Windows 7 (with UAC enabled) users and repeat.

Did you do that? You need to run the command prompt as administrator.
