This usually means that you've already installed postgresql once before.
You will need to do one of two things:
1) remember the original password used to create the Postgres service
account from the initial install.
2) delete the former Postgres service account and then retry the installation.
to do step 2, follow this link: http://www.geocities.com/operationsengineer1/
open the PostgreSQL word doc, go to page 5 and follow the instructions
on how to delete the OS user.
