In that case click Start --> Accessories --> Right click Command Prompt and click Run as Administrator. In the command prompt run this command exactly:
net user postgres /delete
The user will then be deleted and the installer will recreate it for you.

If the problem is the PostgreSQL service user password, that is a Windows user that you can delete by following my instructions - once you've deleted it, the next time you run the installer it will accept whatever password you put in and re-create the user.
