install issues with macOS Ventura - asking for login repeatedly

I've downloaded MacOS Ventura on my Macbook Pro, but every time I try to install it, I get asked for my admin password, enter it correctly, and then select 'continue' - and I then get asked for password again. I'm stuck in a loop and can't install it!

The password is correct and I am definitely an admin (I double checked).

Any hints, or anyone find a way to resolve this?

Thanks

Windows, Windows 6

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
