Hi Swati,

what are the setting of your pg_hba.conf? I assume that there is a entry like this:

# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all password

That means that the password you are asked is the password of the standard user for your
cluster - commonly postgres.

Cheers

Andy
