My mistake. It turns out it does keep the password. It was prompting me for the password after the connect failed so I assumed it had forgotten it. But when I quit PgAdmin and restarrted, it used the saved password. So PgAdmin is handling this fine,

I'd like to request that the saved passwords be kept, even in the event of a failure.
I realize that if the failure is due to an incorrect password, there needs to be a way to enter a new one, but if the password is correct and the server is not running, the password should not be removed.
