我这么做是为了解决同样的问题:

在终端上用gedit编辑器打开pg_hba.conf文件:

sudo gedit /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf

它会要求输入密码。输入admin登录密码。 这将打开gedit文件。粘贴如下一行:

host  all   all  127.0.0.1/32  trust
just below -

# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket

保存并关闭它。

关闭终端，重新打开并运行如下命令:

psql -U postgres

现在您将进入psql控制台。

现在输入这个来修改密码:

ALTER USER [your preferred user name] with password '[desired password]';

如果它说用户不存在，那么使用CREATE而不是ALTER。

最后，删除粘贴到pg_hba中的特定行并保存它。

如果你在Windows上，你可以直接运行

net user postgres postgres

并以postgres/postgres用户/密码登录PostgreSQL。

Find the file pg_hba.conf. It may be located, for example, in /etc/postgresql-9.1/pg_hba.conf. cd /etc/postgresql-9.1/ Back it up cp pg_hba.conf pg_hba.conf-backup Place the following line (as either the first uncommented line, or as the only one): For all occurrence of below (local and host) , except replication section if you don't have any it has to be changed as follow ,no MD5 or Peer authentication should be present. local all all trust Restart your PostgreSQL server (e.g., on Linux:) sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart If the service (daemon) doesn't start reporting in log file: local connections are not supported by this build you should change local all all trust to host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust You can now connect as any user. Connect as the superuser postgres (note, the superuser name may be different in your installation. In some systems it is called pgsql, for example.) psql -U postgres or psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres (note that with the first command you will not always be connected with local host) Reset the password ('replace my_user_name with postgres since you are resetting the postgres user) ALTER USER my_user_name with password 'my_secure_password'; Restore the old pg_hba.conf file as it is very dangerous to keep around cp pg_hba.conf-backup pg_hba.conf Restart the server, in order to run with the safe pg_hba.conf file sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart

关于pg_hba文件的进一步阅读:19.1。pg_hba.conf文件(正式文档)

注意:在Linux上，您可以简单地运行sudo su - postgres来成为postgres用户，然后使用psql更改所需的内容。

按照步骤1找到最佳答案。

如果你使用Windows操作系统，这是我的补充。只遵循第1步，然后在web上打开pgAdmin或postgres，并单击顶部导航上的file。单击reset layout，最后重新加载应用程序。不管你输入什么密码都可以。我用的是1234。

Windows用户PostgreSQL最新版本(大于10):

到PostgreSQL安装位置，搜索pg_hba.conf，你会在..\postgres\data\pg_hba.conf中找到它。

用记事本打开这个文件，找到这行:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5
#..

Change the method from *md5* to *trust*:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust
# ...

现在转到你的SQL shell (PSQL)，让一切都为空，

Server [localhost]:
Database [postgres]:
Port [8000]:
Username [postgres]:

这次它不会要求你输入密码，你就可以登录了，

现在运行这一行:

  `ALTER USER yourusername WITH SUPERUSER`

现在您可以将\q留在外壳中。

再次进入“pg_hba.conf”文件，将“METHOD”从“trust”修改为“md5”并保存。

现在使用新用户和密码登录，可以检查\du的属性。
