Did you try without a password?

Edit pg_hba.conf in the data directory and set the appropriate access
rule to 'trust', then reload the server config. That will allow you to
login without a password, from where you can change it using pgAdmin.

But... the password for the postgres user will be set to whatever you
specified when you installed, so unless you forgot it, you shouldn't
need to change the password.
