I don't think this is a pgAdmin problem. You need to log in as a superuser account to create a user. The superuser is usually called postgres in a standard PostgreSQL install although any user can be made a superuser (See ALTER USER <username> CREATEUSER).

Try

CREATE USER <username>;

via psql or the sql window in pgAdmin to see if that does it.
