The default case (with md5 method in pg_hba.conf) is encrypted passwds.

But you still can doALTER USER foo UNENCRYPTED password 'bar';  

dynacom=# SELECT * from pg_shadow where usename='foo';usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd
|
 
valuntil | useconfig
---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------foo     |      100 | f
 | f        | f         | bar    |
