How do you have your pg_hba.conf file setup ?

If on the shell as the postgres user, you can login into the   
"db_stats" database without a password being asked for than you should  
not need one.
Try out:

postgres$> psql db_stats

and see if you can login without asking for a PW.. check your  
pg_hba.conf first though.
