    Found directions:

    sudo su postgres

    modify /Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/data/pg_hba.conf

    -local all all   md5
+local all all   trust

    restart postgres

    /Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/pg_ctl restart -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/data/

    Connect to postgres:

    psql

    Inside psql (\q to quit):

    ALTER USER postgres WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';

    modify pg_hba.conf back

    +local all all   md5
-local all all   trust

    restart postgres

    /Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/pg_ctl restart -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/data/
