Fwd: resetting superuser password

"Marc A. Donis" <mad7@xxxxxxxxxx> · Wed, 09 Nov 2005 13:38:24 +0100 (CET)

I have lost the superuser (user postgres) password, but I still have the unix root password.  Is there anything I can do to reset the postgres user's password (short of reinstalling Postgres)?

Obviously, I can su to unix user postgres, but this does not seem to advance my cause, as doing "psql -U postgres" still prompts me for a password, which is not the same as the unix postgres user's password. 

OS: RedHat 9

Help!

Thanks,
Marc
