I just downloaded an update for Adobe and my computer ask for a password to install it. I typed in the password I just used to log into this forum but it said it wasn't valid? Do i need a different password for each function on my computer?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Louis,
You have to enter the Administrator Password for that dialog, which is not the same as the password that you used to sign in to your account on this forum. "The password of your OS X user account is also known as your login password. It's the password that you use to log in to your Mac and make certain changes, such as installing software."
OS X Yosemite: If your administrator password was not accepted
It is your computer admin password that you use to log into your computer user account
I hope this is helpful.
