You could restart in single user mode, or alter pg_hba.conf to allow the 
users you want and disallow all other users.

single user mode will require you have direct access to the machine to 
do the alterations.

using pg_hba.conf will not disconnect existing users as far as I'm aware.

That's the best advice I can offer, maybe somebody else will be able to 
give you more
