Hi, Right, username can be given after -U parameter and -W can be used to make osm2pgsql to ask for the password. It is not possible to give the password from command line as -W my_password, it makes osm2pgsql to behave oddly. If I remember right it is trying to open an OSM file named "my_password" and stops.
