I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Could you not set a password as a temporary measure, then when you have finished installing flash player remove the password and set log in back to no password.

I probably could use a temp password but do not know how to set up a password to open my computer. Any suggestions.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

Hi jerryg73607594,
This is the OS, not Flash Player prompting for the password. Please see the FAQ What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player? for more information.
