Answer 1

change "trust" instead of "md5" in the pg_hba.conf to connect to the database and change your password.

    --------------------configuration in pg_hba.conf---------------
    local   all         all                               trust  
    local   all         postgres                          trust          
    host    all         all         ::1/128               trust
