t would be helpful if you provided some more details. As it is, you
leave it to our crystal ball to come up with things as "what OS are you
using?" (my guess: Windows).

Besides, this question should go to the pgsql-novice@postgresql.org. If
I'm not completely off here, you'll find already an answer there: delete
this user (it is most probably a leftover from a previous installation
gone wrong). See <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/2007-03/msg00043.php>

Hope this helps
