The usual way involves editing your pg_hba.conf file:

(i) Set the authentication method for your connection to "trust"

(ii) You'll be able to log in now without a password, so connect and
reset the password.

(iii) Edit pg_hba.conf again and reset the method to "md5" or whatever
it was.

HTH,

Ray.
