I doubt that you need to connect as superuser. If you have it, see the
manpage for psql, otherwise online, or the postgres docs. There are
various ways of setting permissions.

(On Linux the default postgres user is your user name, i.e. in my case
'martin'. Here 'psql (dbname)' is enough, no password needed.)
