Hi Tom,
We tried by renaming the user but it has removed the md5 password from pg_authid and we were not able to login
We had to reset the password to make it work
Thanks,
Nikhil

Do not try to change role OIDs --- you will certainly miss some
places where the OID appears. You can rename it though.
You might have tried this:
regression=# alter user postgres rename to pgsql;
ERROR: session user cannot be renamed
but it's easy to get around that:
regression=# create user joe superuser;
CREATE ROLE
regression=# \c - joe
You are now connected to database "regression" as user "joe".
regression=# alter user postgres rename to pgsql;
ALTER ROLE
regression=# \c - pgsql
You are now connected to database "regression" as user "pgsql".
regression=# drop user joe;
DROP ROLE
