Are you running this on Windows and using the Enterprise DB download of 
Postgres?

If so when you installed Postgres the installer asked you to create a 
password. This is the password you need when connecting via pgAdmin. Now 
the 'administrator' could also mean the program(psql) needs to run as 
the Windows Administrator. Can you show the command you are running and 
where/when you being prompted for the password?
