The default case (with md5 method in pg_hba.conf) is encrypted passwds.

But you still can do
ALTER USER foo UNENCRYPTED password 'bar';

dynacom=# SELECT * from pg_shadow where usename='foo';
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd |
valuntil | useconfig
---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------
foo | 100 | f | f | f | bar |
|
(1 row)
