This is not a bug, and there are more appropriate forums for asking for
this type of help.  However ... the problem with adding an entry for
"local" is that it's for Unix-socket connections, and there's no such
thing on Windows.  You need to adjust the entry for 127.0.0.1 to say
"trust", instead.  Otherwise it sounds like you are going at it the
right way.
