others will guide better, but for now, in pg_hba.conf
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all ident sameuser
also, as postgres user, createuser <your-login>
this will let you into pg as yourself

you need to change auth methods in your pg_hba.conf file:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/auth-pg-hba-conf.html
basically identd means that you are who you are on the unix box. no
-U flag, you can't log in as someone else.
note that a "root" user is a bit of a mysqlism. The postgres user is
the equivalent in postgresql. might you sudo su - postgres and try to
connect?

edit your pg_hba.conf file to allow tcp/ip access from localhost. And
please dont try to access postgres as 'root'

...or just cheat and get in as the postgres root user:
psql -U postgres
Which on SUSE has no password.

Connecting as root may be ill advised (doing stuff as root is a bad
idea unless one HAS to).
All that notwithstanding, you need to setup the correct permissions to
allow the connections you want in pg_hba.conf, usually is
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
