Change the following in pg_hba.conf
host all all
127.0.0.1/32 md5
to
host all all
127.0.0.1/32 trust
and that will let you connect without password and then reload your db server settings using 'pg_ctl reload'. You can then set the password once connected to database using
alter user username password 'password'
Once you are done with that now you can switch back to original authentication mode.
