Then you cannot reset the password.

You have to ask the database administrator (the person who has access to
the database server machine and can modify the configuration files)
to help you.

- a superuser can reset your password (if necessary, by starting the
  server in single-user mode)

- anybody who can modify "pg_hba.conf" can allow you to login
  without a password
