Mac keeps asking for password

Hi all,

Just got in today and my boss sent me this on IM:


	Axeman wrote: question for you. On my wife mac its keeps popping up asking me to enter password for apps to go into the keychain passwd. Is there anyway of disablign this.

I asked him "Why do you need to enter the password? Does it ask you to enter your password?"


	Axeman wrote: its asks so. I think the idea is it gets stored in the keychain passwd so you don't need to type it in apps.

And ideas? A quick Google didn't throw up much.
I think the Mac is a Mac Mini, running Tiger or Leopard, not 100% sure. I've asked if the password is accepted, and not got a response back yet.

Thanks for any help

Ben & Axeman

Re: Mac keeps asking for password

try
applications > utility's > keychain access

at the top left of this window is a padlock make sure its 'unlocked'
then try and see if the system stops asking for a password each time …

Thanks MrStevenRogers,

I've told him, and he's going to take a look at some point
