First of all, it would be good to check the PG DOCs to get easy answers
like this. Steps:
1. google it: Postgresql alter role
2. Choose the one that points to the official pg docs.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/sql-alterrole.html
3. Change the version at top of the page to your PG version.

Now on this page it explicitly shows you the syntax for changing
password expiration: |VALID UNTIL|'/|timestamp|/'
Then the same page gives 2 working examples:

Change a password expiration date, specifying that the password should
expire at midday on 4th May 2015 using the time zone which is one hour
ahead ofUTC:

ALTER ROLE chris VALID UNTIL 'May 4 12:00:00 2015 +1';

Make a password valid forever:

ALTER ROLE fred VALID UNTIL 'infinity';

Please do a little research before submitting questions.  We love to
answer questions but it would be nice if you could do a little effort on
your own in advance first.

Regards,
Michael Vitale
