I installed posgresql with brew install postgresql. Now I want to create a database with $ createdb foobar. However, when I try this from the command line it asks me for a password. However, the password it is asking me for is not the role postgres, but a role with the name of my user account with which I am logged in. I tried $ psql -U username and it again asks me for the password for username. I can, however, log in with the default postgres user like so psql -U postgres.
What is the default password for my useraccount? Working on OS X 10.13.6
