If you didn't write it down, you can't get back at it :-)

For 8.1, we won't use the password until you've actually clicked the
"finish" button to go through the install, so it'll work better there.

For 8.0, what you do is you manually remove the postgres account it
created, and start over. YOu can do this using "net user postgres
/delete" or from the windows GUI.
