edit pg_hba.conf so that localhost connections from localhost are trusted maybe like
this:

host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust

you have to restart, but then you can do an alter user and so can all the other local
users.

Also, if you wish to avoid a full restart of the database, this change
would be picked up by a "pg_ctl reload" as well.

Cheers,

You do not need to restart, just reload.

pg_ctl -D data reload

"ident" mode might be a safer option.
