Im contacting them tomorrow for sure. My issue is that I uninstalled the postgresql system from my computer and now I cant get it installed again because of the password issue. Thats all im trying to solve, getting the postgresql installed again in my laptop and like said because of being really really clulesss im having issues with that and im really sorry for taking your time on helping me.

A google search for "windows 7 administrator command prompt" reveals:

and

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/run-a-command-as-administrator-from-the-windows-vista-run-box/

both of which explain in detail how to open a command prompt as administrator. It's similarly easy to find instructions on how to get to the administrative tools in the control panel.

The best way to be less "clueless" - as you call yourself - about computers is to actively learn by trying to research things when you run into problems. These days Google will often find the answer if you try a few different ways to ask the question.

Try re-reading Dave's blog post slowly. When you encounter something you don't understand, look it up. It will take longer that way, but you will learn more and most importantly you will be more able to solve your own problems in future.
