This should not be directly related to the port, it's something else
that's broken. You need to check the server logs (eventlog + pg_log
directory).

Is this the database password or the service user password?
If it's the db password, change your pg_hba config to trust, log in,
change the password, and then change pg_hba back to md5. If you search
the archives, there should be detailed instructions.
If it's the service password, use the standard user management snapin in
windows.
