Alright so it (psql I assume) makes the connection but is failing when
the password is supplied. That would point to an erroneous password
being supplied from the root shell. This would seem to mean there is a
~/.pgpass file with an incorrect value or a PGPASSWORD environment
variable with an incorrect value. There is also the possibility that
PGPASSFILE was set to point to a file other than .pgpass. To confirm
that it is a password issue you could temporarily change the pg_hba.conf
line above to trust and attempt the connection to see if it succeeds.
