Default Password for Postgres User in Ubuntu

The Default Password for Postgres User in Ubuntu:

When you install PostgreSQL on Ubuntu, the default user is 'postgres'.

The default password for the 'postgres' user is not set during the installation. You need to set a password for the 'postgres' user using the following steps:

  1. Switch to the 'postgres' user using the command: sudo -i -u postgres
  2. Access the PostgreSQL prompt using the command: psql
  3. Set a password for the 'postgres' user using the command: ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'new_password';

Remember to replace 'new_password' with your desired password.

It is crucial to set a strong and unique password to secure your PostgreSQL database from unauthorized access.
