Postgres will itself (independent to Mapnik) default to various best guess values, which is what osm2pgsql does as well. Another way to play around with connecting via mapnik is to try a python interpreter: For example, based on my postgres setup this will connect fine: $ python >>> from mapnik import PostGIS >>> PostGIS(dbname='gis',table='planet_osm_line') ...the user defaults to my unix user ( I assume the same would happen on windows), etc etc. If that does not work after a few tries, maybe you've got a firewall blocking things from connecting on localhost?
