PostgreSQL took over my login
All of a sudden my macbook pro force quit and when I restarted it it is run
by user PostgreSQL user - i do not know the password and cannot change it.
I cannot find out online how to fix this back. Any help would be much
appreciated and also as soon as possible. Thank you.

Can't you just log out and then log in as you?

Try booting into "single user" mode or "safe" mode. Single user mode will boot the machine as root. You can read us on the different boot modes here:
