Then you can login and changejust "passwd mechko" I think, if you're logged as root ? tried it ? as existing password use roots the password..
The password field for that user in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow .

You can only log in without a password if your pg_hba.conf....
Unfortunately, that doesn't let you log in with a blank password.
You want
ALTER ROLE alex SET PASSWORD TO NULL
You will of course have to do this as a Postgres superuser.

I'd like to change the password of another user, as root, but don't want the user to be prompted to change their password when the log in. As far as I can tell, any mechanism to change the password as root set the ADMCHG flag in /etc/security/passwd

No one ever wants to change this password unsafe to not change....
Change the password and see who screams often, it's even more of a reason to make the change.
