el_g0rillo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 While installing firefox my on my iDeneb 10.5.6 setup, I keep getting an error "You must type an administrator's name and password to make changes to Installer" which is odd because I am absolutely certain that that I am entering the correct password. Also, when I enter the wrong password intentionaly I get "Sorry, you entered an invalide username or password" Any ideas on how to rectify the situation?

If that doesn't work try installing firefox on a new admin account.

CNY Mike Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 You'll have to insert your disk and hunt around for a utility to change the password. I remember hearing of some sort of way of changing the admin password that way. Wouldn't hurt to try.
