password is never accepted when I try to install Flash player.  Why?

The "password" required is YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM password and NOT your Adobe password.

To be specific, it's the password for the local administrator account on your computer.

Flash Player writes some files to the system area, so the installer has to run with admin rights.

where's the 'local administrator account' password?

[C_F_McBlob]

It's the password to log on, or make changes to the computer.

Windows: Control Panel>User Accounts

Mac:
System Preferences>Users & Groups
