2. Enter %appdata%
Directory C:\Users\userid\AppData\Roaming opens

3. Navigate one folder up and in Roaming folder properties, remove access rights from Roaming folder.
Or create PostgreSql/pgpass.conf file and remove rights from it.

5. Use odbc driver to log in with user which requires password and enter password.
