sudo su - postgres

or

sudo -u postgres <command>

You should not need a password for the postgres UNIX user and adding  
one is not really what you want to be doing for a whole slough of  
security reasons.

Nor should there be. You'll want to look in /usr/local/jboss/server/ 
default/log.

The OMERO install page is there to explain how to install manually  
from a tarball, it is not a troubleshooting guide for the DMG based  
Mac OS X installer. The Mac OS X installer should put your JBoss  
server in /usr/local/jboss.

You should first ensure that your JBoss server is running:

ps auxww | grep -i jboss

And that PostgreSQL is running:

ps auxww | grep -i postgres

No problem.

As Josh Moore already mentioned, you should ensure that the passwords  
in your password table are correct. The root password for OMERO  
installed using the Mac OS X installer should indeed be "omero".
