To be clear about the 2 passwords involved with Postgres on your Mac:
• The installer asks for your usual Mac admin account password, to get
permission for 2 operations: (1) to install stuff on your computer and (2) to
create a special Unix user account named (by default) 'postgres'.
The actual
The postgres account created on your OS is locked account (without any
password) for security reasons. The password asked during installation is your
database superuser password (used to connect to database).
Thus on your MAC you can login to postgres account as "sudo su postgres".
