Change the line in pg_hba.conf to "password", not trust. Trust
means that the user is never prompted for a password. (this is the
default for local connections, which seems much to open for my
tastes; unfortunately, many people create their "host" Internet
lines, never having changed this.)

To create a password for the postgres user,

ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'xxxxx';

or, to see what's really happening, look in pg_password.
