Administrator and password

since upgrading to Leopard I can't seem to install any other applications like iWork without being asked for administrator and password, but when entering both I keep being told this is incorrect although this worked perfectly with Tiger.

Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, Mac OS X (10.5.1), 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM
