Password?

From

Hi
 
When I write the following commands at the prompt,

>createuser -S -d -R user1
> createdb sample

I am asked to enter a password. I have not set any password anywhere. Which password is it asking for?
Please help.
I have built from source on Windows XP.

Thanks is advance,

Regards
Swati

Can you login with psql?
Otherwise you can set the password for the superuser when you run initdb
