When you open your users file (standard in C disk) you can rightclick and click on properties. You can check hidden at the general tab. Thats they way I found my postgres(s) users on vista 32. But that didn't help with the 'Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1' problem. That change also let most of my files on my desktop dissapear (untill I unchecked it ofc). I'm still getting errors when I'm installing postgreSQL the way that is described in this thread. I read that the vista updates are the problem. Hopefully someone else here knows the answer for the stupid vista users that we are. 
Went through this nice guide. But I got still the 127.0.0.1 error. I run Vista by the way.
After some hours of trial & error, I found a solution at the HM forum, and it worked! ♦
Here it is:
- go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and open the hosts file with notepad.
- At the bottom of the file, add the following line (without the quotes): "127.0.0.1 localhost"
- Save the file, exit and restart your pc.*
*If you cannot save it to that location, first save it to the desktop, then right-click on it and change the name to only "hosts" (so remove the .txt extension). Then copy&recplace it to the drivers\etc map
After this little work, my database is working perfect

Thanks, it works for me! Also thanks to batmanbg
In the initialize database cluster window when I click next, it tells me
"The selected encoding is not valid for the chosen locale"
Any help would really be appreciated.
Here something I found on the German board
1.1. Failed to establish a connection to '127.0.0.1'
Attention: This error message usually comes right after being asked to create a new database!
Fixing it:
Close the Elephant before running through the following steps!
Step 1: Check the postgreSQL service
In the start menu select "run" and confirm the dialogue after having entered "cmd".
The in the command line now run the "net start". This command lists all running services
a) If the entry PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3 is in the list, please continue with Step 2.
b) If the entry doesnt appear - continue with Step 3.
Step 2: Close the SQL Database service
Since the service is running but not working correctly it needs to be re-started:
In der command line execute the following command net stop pgsql-8.3.
Step 3: Restart the Database
Once the service is no longer active you can restart it in the following fashion:
In the command line execute the following command net start pgsql-8.3.
Attention:
If the service cannot be started it means the database was not correctly installed. Go to the Elephant folder and run the file "postgresql-8.3.msi" (note down the username and password that you should use)!
Step 4: Control
After running the command net start the service PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3 should appear in the list.
Remark: Displayed data has been shortened
Step 5: REstart the Elephant
When you restart the Elephant you will be asked to create a new database
In this dialog enter your username and password and select your existing database with the magnifying glass icon.

Same problem!
"Please create a new database. The database version has changed but a patch is not possible."
I got this message. Why did it pop up when I started the software?
Hello
My problem seems to be with the PostgreSQl. I cannot sig into the elephant because the password is incorrect and I have no idea what the password is.
Does anyone know how to find out/change my password to sign into the elephant? It says I have to use my postgre password.
Please help!!
