Never heard complaints about this so far. Apparently, you do have the 
"store password" checkbox set, that's why you're not asked for a 
password the first time you connect. The second time, pgAdmin has 
noticed internally that the last connection failed, and asks for the 
password again. After the password is entered, pgAdmin will remember it 
internally, the stored password is not used until pgAdmin is closed.

I suspect that there's an encoding problem, does your password include 
non-ANSII characters?
