The .msi installer prompts you for the root account name and password
(usually postgres). Logging onto the database is possible without a
password if the terminal you are logging in from (127.0.0.1) uses the
'trust' authentication method in pg_hba.conf. Open this file and read
it over until you understand it completely.

The database is always installed with an account. I'd suggest going
through the install process once again...don't confuse the database root
account with the NT user account the database runs under.
