Recently, several applications have been refusing my admin password when they prompt me to enter it for application updates and certain tasks.
I tried upgrading Neo Office today, and to complete the installation, it asks for my password, which I enter, only to have the installer tell me the password is incorrect. Uno did the very same thing when I tried to apply changes.
What baffles me is that I have set my preferences so that I need to enter my password to log in, which proves my password is being entered correctly for me to login in the first place.
I've tried changing my password (my old password was accepted there, oddly enough), and I ran several of Onyx's features hoping that might clear some things up, but still no luck. Funny that Onyx accepts my password, yet Neo Office and Uno don't.
Since nothing like this has happened before, I'm a little stuck for ideas, so does anyone have any suggestions? Trashing a plist perhaps? (though which one I'm not sure...)
I sure hope this doesn't affect any other installations that require a password.
Thanks in advance to anyone who could give any suggestions.
