There's not much we can do to help you. The error message says exactly what the problem is. You'll need to figure out how to fix your login details with PostgreSQL. The wiki installation instructions walk you through the PostgreSQL setup.

Do you think uninstalling PostgreSQL and reinstalling is the best bet. I cant figure out how to change password
