+## Changing Postgres user password
+
+Since `PostgreSQL` runs under the `postgres` user, we need to use that user to access the database. By default, this user has no password, but by running the following command, we add a password.
+
+```txt
+user@it2810-11:~$ sudo passwd postgres
+[sudo: authenticate] Password:                                 
+Enter new password: 
+Retype new password: 
+Retype new password: 
+passwd: password updated successfully
+user@it2810-11:~$ 
+```
+
+Setting the password on the postgres instance itself is done with the following command
+
+```txt
+sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'super-secret-password-that-you-cant-read';"
+```
