I downloaded the free trial to try this out. When open the program and push continue trial, a window pops up that says "configure postgreSQL server". I click on "connect," but it says "unable to connect to this database, please check the configuration." I have tried reading the manuel and everything but I cant figure this out. Please help

I located a thread that appeared similar and tried the instructions there. I uninstalled postgreSQL and tried to reinstall it. When it prompts me to create a password, I put in dbpass, but it says this is the wrong password. Now I cant even get postgreSQL installed

Try svcPASS83 or postgrespass - if neither of those work, please follow the uninstall/reinstall guide available on our documentation page and that will walk you through the steps to remove that account so that you can put in whatever password you would like.

Click Start, (on Win XP click Run) type cmd and hit enter. At the command prompt type this command:
net user postgres /delete

and hit enter. It should say the command completed successfully, then you can finish your installation process (see pages 7 & 8 of the uninstall/reinstall guide for a walkthrough with pictures).
