If you want a password, but don't want the prompt (e.g. because you are writing a script), you could: - Not use -W, then the superuser will have no password initially. - Start the server. - Using "trust" authentication, connect to a database. - Issue "ALTER ROLE ... PASSWORD '...'" to set a password.
