The uninstaller doesn't remove the postgres user account because it doesn't have any way of knowing if you're using it for other tools or different versions of PostgreSQL. If the installer is reporting that the password is incorrect, that's because there's an existing account and Windows is telling us the password is wrong. If you can't find the account for whatever reason, another way of removing it is to use the command line tools. From a command prompt with administrator privileges, try: net user postgres /delete It *should* be shown in the computer management applet though - but the user accounts tool in Control Panel will hide service accounts (I assume that applies to Vista as well as XP).
