MacBook Pro keeps asking for administrator log in when trying to update it

How can I upgrade MacOS Montere on my MacBook Pro? It keeps asking for administrator log in... and when I enter the required info, still loops back to the terms and conditions agreement and asks again for admin log in...


Can I skip Montere and go on to the next version... Ventura?

If there are more than one Admin Account on this computer you will need to Log Out of the Added Admin Account and back into the Original Admin Account


The " Owner Account of this computer "  has that privilege to add, remove, upgrade or downgrade accounts. This would include adding more Admin Accounts and / or downgrading an ADDED Admin account 


Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Normally the " Owner Account  " is the very first Account used when the Computer was Very First Setup as New and out of the box.


Adding additional Admin Account can be done there after.


Below link all provide additional insights about the Difference between Admin Accounts and Owner Accounts
