Administrator password

I’m trying to update to Ventura. The update has been done but I cannot install it as I am being asked for an administrator password. I have no idea what this is and having tried already, it is not my Apple ID password.

MacBook, macOS 12.2

It's the password for logging into your user account on the Mac, not you Apple ID password.


If you've forgotten it read this Apple document: If you forgot your Mac login password.
