pgadmin3 doesn't detect postgres

I successfully installed and downloaded pgadmin and postgresql. When I boot pgadmin3, The interface comes up successfully, but I can't see postgres, or any other servers.

I tried changing listen_addresses = 'localhost' to listen_addresses = '*', but it didn't change anything.

If I try to create a server group with the name postgres and the correct password, I get this Error: Error connecting to the server: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"

I guess you learn these things as you go.
