You will need to figure out a way to login as the (an?) existing
superuser.  Typically a password is not required since the pg_hba.conf file
usually has a “local postgres postgres peer” (or equivalent) entry which
lets the DBA become the OS postgres (or whatever user owns the service)
user and then just connect to the cluster using the postgres role.
Regardless, your ability to becomes superuser depends at this point on
being able to become the OS user that owns the PostgreSQL service so you
can modify pg_hba.conf to let you login.
