There is no option to provide password in command line.
You either have to use environment variable, as described here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/libpq-envars.html
or pgpass file, as described here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html
Both of these places are listed in docs for psql
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/app-psql.html) in
part "connecting to a database".
