When I try to install postgresql everything goes well untill the part where
I have to input my new passwords. At that moment it sais:"The password
specified was incorrect. Please enter the correct password for the postgres

I have no other postgres windows user accounts on my laptop nor do I have
other users.

A quick work around may be, create a user postgres manually as:

net user postgres yourpassword /add

and supply the same password when the installer asks you for a password.
