storeassetd is asking for username and password to install new software...

Turned on my MacB Air and the battery icon didn't display percentage....wanted to change that icon if I could find it but couldn't....then pop up window says:

Hi. Updates from apple come from software update or the app store and usually display what the update is. If you have a newer operating system you can go to the app store my account and look for any updates. Or give you a triangle to click for more info. The percentage for battery is at the battery icon upper right Click on the icon and a drop down will let you choose show and percentage.
