Installer is trying to install new software. Enter your password to allow this.


It has my User Name already in there. The Password area is blank and it needs it to install.

There is no Installer password.


If you are getting a request for password, it is likely to be for the Admin account shown in the dialog box. If your name is the account shown, then your login password is what is required.


If it is asking for BOTH an Account AND password, that would be any Admin User account name and the password that matches it. For most Users, the FIRST (or only) account created is the Admin.
