postgres password change
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>
