The account doesn't have a password by default as it's a service
account and you shouldn't need to use it interactively.
If you really want to though, just set a password:
gator:~ dpage$ sudo passwd postgres
Changing password for postgres.
New password:
Retype new password:
gator:~ dpage$ su - postgres
Password:
gator:~ postgres$
