The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      14570
Logged by:          adrian mondaca

PostgreSQL version: 9.6.2
Operating system:   Windows 8.1
Description:

Hello,

Along with greeting, possible errors in postgres,
This happens when the password created when starting the installation is
validated, since once installed,
Start the server and enter the validated password, but if you enter an
incorrect password, it will be validated.
Register an 8-character key and enter a key with fewer or different
characters, they are validated in the same way.

I have reinstalled the program, in addition to installing the new operating
system, but the error continues.

There are many situations where the server wouldn't be checking a password
at all, for example if you have "trust" or "peer" authentication specified
in pg_hba.conf, or if you have a ~/.pgpass file set up to supply the
password.  I suspect your problem is along that line.
