i am using windows on my system,... i did download postgres version 8.4 if i do install via the install wizard it tells me to type a password and retype the password from the account which does already exists on PC BUT i don't know the password anyways and my brother doesn't know it anymore too... by the side i am a newbie in installing linux software on a xp machine.

so what can i do to get it workin?

Start --> Run --> type 'cmd' and hit enter. At the prompt type 'net user postgres /delete' and hit enter (without the quotes). Then you can put in whatever password you'd like for the postgres windows user as you'll be creating the account.

so, i only want to get posttracker/postgresql workin.... i deinstalled postgresql and deleted all existing folders and files... then i did type net user delete into the cmd and it told me command successful done... i did download postgresql 8.4 for windows (one click installer) then i install via the install wizard but it still tells me "password incorrect - please enter the correct password to the account " or something like that..

Don't use the one click installer. Use the pgInstaller. There's a walkthrough for the pgInstaller in this guide.
