The first thing you need to do is find the valve. This is often located in the basement or a water meter box. It looks like a bell in the middle of it and is made out of brass typically. When you locate it you should be able to see the adjuster screw on it. You may need a flashlight if the box is located somewhere dark.

Now that the screw is loosened you can either turn it clockwise to increase the water pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Make sure to keep these turns small so that you aren't making any drastic changes.
