When I star my MacBook Pro a box comes up with "networksetup is trying to modify the system network configurations" type your password to allow this. I have a password and the "hint" is correct, but it won't "modify configuration" How do I fix this?

Hi Glenyse,

Did you find the answer to your question? I have the same problem. Or can anyone else help?

My wife’s 2012 Macbook Pro has Yosemite and is using Wi Fi for the internet connection.

Every time, both on startup and awaking from sleep, a window appears on the desktop with a locked icon saying, “Networksetup is trying to modify this system. Type your password in to allow this”.

The window (which can’t be moved or dragged) shows the computer’s user name. The password has to be repeatedly typed in as many as 10 times and the highlighted ‘modify configuration’ box clicked before the window disappears and the computer then functions normally.

Needless to say, this is driving my wife up the wall…😠 I would certainly appreciate information on how to get rid of this troublesome window!

I keep getting the same box but after entering the correct password many many time the box will not go away, any solutions?
