What happens if you log in as a different user and then try to connect
as the original user using -U <username>?

Also, is there any chance that you've already connected using pgAdmin,
and saved the password? - this causes the password to be saved in a
.pgpass file, so you wouldn't be asked for it again when logged inas
that user.
