Finder is asking me for a password every time I move a file

Since migrating my Imac to Mac Mini using the migration assistant Finder is asking me for a password every time I move a file. How can I rectify this?

Have you looked at the folder or file permissions? You can check that by selecting the folder or file then pressing command + i, or right click them and select 'Get Info'. Change permissions to the account that says (Me) to full read and write.
