For database roles, you can change the password by ALTER ROLE command.
For example, change the pwd for user postgres to 123 :

ALTER ROLE postgres PASSWORD '123';

Thanks, but I need configure password to connect to server!
Now the pg_hba.conf is trust, I need change to passwd.
Changing the file to passwd, I don't know how configure password to connect!

Thanks!

Set pg_hba.conf to 'trust', connect and use ALTER USER to set the
password, then change pg_hba.conf to use 'md5' for your database.

First, connect with the pg_hba.conf set to trust.  change the
password.  then change the pg_hba.conf to md5 / password.

Note that if you're talking about a unix/linux type account that's a
whole nother kettle of fish.
