Edit the pg_hba.conf file in the data directory, and add a line to
grant trusted access to the database. Then, tell the server to reload
it's configuration (the pause button on the services control panel
applet should do this), and login as postgres using pgAdmin or psql.
Change the password to something memorable, and then put pg_hba.conf
back how it was and reload the config again.
