[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1764811"] The password it is looking for in that window is an admin account login password. So if your account is an admin account, it's your login password to the Mac, not to the store or iTunes. And when it gets a good password, the window will disappear but it may be a minute or so while the installer looks for where it can be installed to give you the option to select the target drive. So are you waiting for a few minutes after entering the password or looking for an immediate change? [/QUOTE]
