Edit the pg_hba.conf file and change the METHOD column to the trust

local   all         all                               trust
(you may configure other parts to set databases and users that are
allowed to connect to the DB with trust mode).

That will let anyone who can connect to the database become the Postgres users in question (in this case, any user) -- a rather gaping security hole except in narrow circumstances.

I wonder if the OP is looking for the "ident" method?
