I tried that, the error is the same but with user "postgres"
[D:\Postgresql\8.0-beta2-dev3\bin]psql -U postgres
psql: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "postgres"
It is not taking my password if i give option with "-W" as well.
[D:\Postgresql\8.0-beta2-dev3\bin]psql -U postgres -W password
psql: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "postgres"
