Error installing PostgreSQL core, 8.2 (password short, not complex)

["Don Burt" <D(dot)Burt(at)CableLabs(dot)com>]

I downloaded binary->v8.2.4->win->postgresql-8.2.4-1.zip and opened postgresql-8.2.msi.  After the dialog, it begins the install and consistently fails with a message box “password to short or not complex enough”.  The install log in that area shows the error below and the install is rolled back.  Any suggestions on how I can get an install?
