This is not a bug, so I'm redirecting to the pgsql-general list, where
it belongs. :)

Change your pg_hba.conf to allow "trust" auth from localhost, restart
the server, use the ALTER USER command to change the password to
something else, change pg_hba.conf back, then restart the server
again.

Cheers,
