I assume you are using Windows (because of the mail headers)

The password you have been prompted for is for the Windows user under which the Postgres service will be started.

The rules for that password are defined by your Windows installation and are not (and cannot) be influenced by
PostgreSQLor the installer. If you are part of a Windows domain, you need to ask your domain admin what the password
rulesare.
