PostgreSQL Server Installation and Configuration:

Default superuser for PostgreSQL is "postgres" with no password.

Create a new superuser for OpenERP:

createuser openerp
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y

Use table template1 and apply access rights:

psql template1
alter role openerp with password 'postgres'

 Option II:

sudo su postgres
