System preferences
My System Preferences has been working for over an hour now looking for my password. Can I leave this thing working all night?

Hi AlanFD,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac seems to be working on a task for an unusually long time, you may want to check the Force Quit menu for an app (like System Preferences) that isn't responding.
Force an app to close on your Mac
Let us know if force quitting and trying the action again doesn't help. If so, more information about the password issue you're experiencing can help the community offer some more specific advice.
Happy New Year.
