+## Setting `postgres` user password
+
+By default the `postgres` user is not assigned a password and as a result you can only login to the PostgreSQL server locally. If you wish to login remotely to the PostgreSQL server as the `postgres` user, you will need to assign a password for the user using the `PG_PASSWORD` variable.
+
+```bash
+docker run --name postgresql -itd --restart always \
+  --env 'PG_PASSWORD=passw0rd' \
+  sameersbn/postgresql:9.4-10
+```
+
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> - When [persistence](#persistence) is in use, `PG_PASSWORD` is effective on the first run.
+> - This feature is only available in the `latest` and versions > `9.4-10`
+
 ## Creating database user
 
 A new PostgreSQL database user can be created by specifying the `DB_USER` and `DB_PASS` variables while starting the container.
