This is not a bug, but a general question for pgsql-novice or
pgsql-general. If it requests a password for you and you have an
access to the data folder, you could change pg_hba.conf from "md5" to
"trust", then run "pg_ctl reload" or restart the server, and finally
you'll be able to connect without a password.

You may want to check as well if you don't have a PGPASS file, this
depends on how you installed Postgres, and you are providing no
details regarding that, so we are limited to guesses here.
