You need a user in the database named insane.

Open up a terminal and do the following

(the $ and psql> denote the terminal type, not commands that you type)

$ psql template1
psql> CREATE USER insane WITH PASSWORD 'some_password';

That should create the user for you. Alternatively, if this is on a dev machine, you can just use

psql> CREATE USER insane superuser;

That will create the user insane with all permissions.

NOTE

You may first need to be logged in as the postgres user.

$ sudo su postgres
<password for your account>

You will not see your password being typed.

Then you will be able to use the first set of commands above.
