Finder Keeps Asking For A Password When Making Changes

I am running OS X 10.9.3 (13D65) on the late MPR 15".

When I want to make changes to my folders on an external harddrive(LaCie), Finder keeps asking me for my password, which is getting fairly annoying.

I have already tried the method where one boots into recovery and uses the "resetpassword" command.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

Select the volume icon in the Finder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your administrator password when prompted. Check the box at the bottom marked

Ignore ownership on this volume

Close the Info window.
