Hello,
S2pface does not include a box to enter the postgresql password.
2 options then: either set your postgresql access to "trust" (in the
pg_hba.conf file) and you wont need to enter a password,
or (better) use shp2pgsql in command line. It is pretty straightforward.
Typing shp2pgsql in a command windows will show you the command line help.
(sp2face is just a GUI to shp2pgsql)
