I am trying to log into a secure account of mine and it says "blocked Plug-in". When I click on it, it says adobe flashplayer is out of date. When I do that it appears to download the flashplayer but I still cannot get into the account.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Are your plug-ins enabled?
Safari>preferences>security, click enable plug-ins.

It downloads the Flash INSTALLER, not the plugin. You still have to run it to update Flash. Look in your Downloads folder. Or download it explicitly from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Also note that if your secure account requires Java, you need to enable its plugin as the default behavior nowadays is to have it disabled. Check in Utilities / Java Preferences.
Thank you SanJamPet. I did check and my plug-ins are enabled.
Courcoul - I am getting a message "install Adobe Flash Player wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this." What password are they talking about? My apple ID? Seems fishy.
Your user password, that you use to login to the Mac every day, provided that the user has Admin privileges. This is mandatory whenever changes are going to be made to programs on the Mac.
If you're the sole user set up on the Mac, it will have Admin privileges by default.
