Can you connect to the database to start with? If you can, then you're
OK - if not, you need a password (or access to the server's pg_hba.conf
file.)

To get the password dialogue shown in that website, connect to the
Postgres server, and on the File menu, click "Change Password."
Or, extend "Logins", right-click the user to change the password for,
and click Properties - key a new password (twice) and OK, you're good to go.
