Indeed the default authentication settings are to use IDENT for local
connections, and password (md5) for connections over the TCP port. So
you have the following options:

  * run pgadmin3 as user postgres (with sudo) if you want to do superuser work; 
then you should not need any password
  * connect to 'localhost' and set a password for the postgres user
  * modify pg_hba.conf to your likings. However, please make sure to not 
disable the passwordless local connection for the 'postgres' user, as described 
by the comment in pg_hba.conf.

I do not see a postgresql bug here, thereby reassinging back to
pgadmin3.

** Changed in: postgresql-8.1 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: postgresql-8.1 => pgadmin3
       Status: Confirmed => Needs Info
