The defaults are:
server = localhost
port = 5432
user = postgres
You can disable password authentication via
this tutorial.
You should also make sure that PostgreSQL is running (Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL --> Start Service). You can also make sure that PostgreSQL starts on reboot by following the steps in
this tutorial.
