Reinstalling PostgreSQL - deleting the "postgres" service account

I was playing around with PostgreSQL 8.4 for my personal project. After my initial installation, I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it. During the installation, I was prompted to enter the password for the "postgres" service account, which I don't remember. To continue with the installation, I needed to enter the following command and create a new password

net user /delete postgres
