where would i find my origin client password??

i am trying to play The Sims. a pop up comes up and reads:

a helper tool is needed to manage your games. OriginClient is trying to install a new helper tool. type your password to allow this.

You are assuming this pop-up is asking for "an OriginClient password."


It sounds to me like you are being asked for your Mac's admin account password, as you are being asked to install what might be a fairly privileged tool onto your Mac.


You should, of course, proceed with caution when being asked to provide this type of password, as the results of installing this tool may prove less than desirable.
