You need to specify the user used for migration with the appropriate 
command line option, for instance "-U postgres".
Othewise pg_upgrade will try to connect with your OS username, which 
obviously won't work.

Since you can't specify a password in pg_upgrade's command, you will 
also need to provide authentication informations in a pgpass.conf file 
as per https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/libpq-pgpass.html
