I'd like to log into my newly installed PostgreSQL [ PostgreSQL 12.15 (Debian 12.15-1.pgdg120+1) ] using my linux account.
In trying to do that this web page suggest that I enter :

psql -d mydb -U myuser -W

However, that command requires a database_name (mydb), and PosgreSQL 12.15 being so freshly installed does not yet 
have any database created by me.

How would you suggest I circumvent this challenge?

Mind you that, using the postgres account I have created other accounts.


Role name |                         Attributes                         | Member of

Thanks in advance.
