The default case (with md5 method in pg_hba.conf) is encrypted passwds.

But you still can do
 ALTER USER foo UNENCRYPTED password 'bar';  

dynacom=# SELECT * from pg_shadow where usename='foo';
 usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd | 
valuntil | useconfig
---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------
 foo     |      100 | f           | f        | f         | bar    |          
|
