You may or may not need to set one depending on how you configure pg_hba.conf
Change the following in pg_hba.conf
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
to
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
and that will let you connect without password and then reload your db server settings using 'pg_ctl reload'. You can then set the password once connected to database using
alter user username password 'password'
Once you are done with that now you can switch back to original authentication mode.

You cannot use the postgres account without some tweaks, Sorry I don't remember where I found this info - somewhere in the pgadmin install docs.
Create a new superuser with a password, add connectivity to the pg_hba.conf file if needed and pgadmin should work fine

When you are logged in as user 'postgres' then you can run the pg_ctl reload like this:
pg_ctl -D <path of your datafolder> reload
/Shoaib
pg_ctl -D <path of your datafolder> reload

If it does say that anywhere, I'd love to know where so I can remove it.

The postgres account should be quite usable for this. You might need to edit pg_hba.conf as well of course.
