OS X:: Stop The Password Prompt? Sep 24, 2009 this seems pretty basic, but I can't seem to find a way to turn off the password prompt in Mac OSX. I have an account for my parents, and they don't need a password, but if they try and install software etc - it comes up with the Password Prompt window.
