This is in the FAQ document in the phpPgAdmin main directory:

Q: For some users I get a "Login disallowed for security" message.

A: Logins via phpPgAdmin with no password or certain usernames (pgsql,
postgres, root, administrator) are denied by default. Before
changing this
behaviour (setting $conf['extra_login_security'] to false in the
config.inc.php file) please read the PostgreSQL documentation about
client
authentication and understand how to change PostgreSQL's pg_hba.conf
to
enable passworded local connections.

Best,
