No sweat; we've seen this one before.
Stop postmaster and start a standalone backend. Now you are a
superuser, and you can create a new superuser, or just go in and UPDATE
pg_shadow to make your original user super again. Exit standalone
backend, restart postmaster, have a beer.
The REINDEX man page is worth reading if you've never used a standalone
backend before; it covers some of the gory details.
