Quick and easy solution for you:
edit ~postgres/data/pg_hba.conf and replace all "ident" string to "trust".
Then, restart PostgreSQL server. The server will not prompt you any
password.
If you want to learn more about authentication methods, then download the
administrator manual from http://www.PostgreSQL.org/docs/#pdfs and follow
the "Authentication Methods" section.
