Try - sudo edit the file /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf for the following 
settings:

---------------------------------------
# Database administrative login by UNIX sockets
local   all         postgres                          ident

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               md5
-------------------------------------------

Save and close the file, then

# service postgresql restart
