Dear all -
I forgot the password for the postgres user for the
database. Is there way I can reset the password to whatever I want. When I
do the psql -U postgres , it's prompting me the password. Can you please
help?
Regards

#su root
#su postgres
#psql
#alter role <username> with password <password>

I don't have the root privileges. But I have followed the instructions
http://www.depesz.com/index.php/2008/11/28/recovering-lost-postgresql-password/
it worked out well.
Thanks for the suggestion
