That user account also has a password.

PLEASE make sure that there is not some allready installed PostgreSQL that
is used for something.
IF you are totally sure that there is not some allready installed / running

To solve your immediate problem:
within control panel go to management, users and group, and change the
password of the postgres user account to something you remember.
