My recommendation is to connect with full details:
psql -h localhost -U postgres postgres

Note the username is postgres and the DBname is postgres (the last
parameter).
I would even go so far as:
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres postgres

Because IPV6 might not be bound as expected.

This simply gets rid of the GUESSING of what PSQL might be trying to do.
Like connecting to a different database, or logging in as a user that does
not exist.
