Postgres novice question

I am trying to use Postgres with another application and need to set up a
few things. To start out I tried logging in as the postgres superuser:

su postgres

where I am asked for the password. I've tried several passwords but none
work. What is the 'default' password after a new install on 10.3 ??

Thanks.

P.S. Tried my normal user password, my root password and 'admin'
and 'Admin".. and even left the password blank. None works.
.
