PostgreSQL 8 Installed on Windows

Hi,
   I've installed successfully PostgreSQL on Windows XP.
PostgreSQL is installed on user postgresql, with non administrative
permission.
I try to use "createdb" to create a mydb but I'm not able to archive the
operation with success.

Error message (on a DOS prompt window) is the following:

C:\Programmi\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta4\bin>createdb mydb
Password:
createdb: could not connect to database template1: FATAL:  password
authenticati
on failed for user "postgresql"

What can I do?

Kind regard.
Tanks in advance for the help.
