Admin password but nowhere to enter it

any admin task is presenting me with the uac window
to continue, type an administrator password, and then click yes"
but there is no text field available to enter the required password
all solutions I read point to I don't have admin rights, and then go into detail about how to get the admin user id active.  The problem being that all the solutions suggested require some element of windows that need the admin password, which takes
me back to the there is no text field available to enter the password.
what to do?

Hi iruser,
Is the present account an administrator account ?
If it is an administrator account ,this account may have suffered a corruption .If it is possible ,try to create a new administrator account and logon with it to have a check .
If creating a new account is not available ,please try to boot into safe mode and enable the built-in administrator  account and then create a new administrator account to have a check .
To do this here is a link for reference (Pay attention to Nsparisi`s answer):
Unable to disable UAC error: To continue type an administrator password and then click yes, but there is nowhere to type a password and yes is disabled.

    Hello hskod,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
    You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
    Leaving the password field blank
    Your Apple ID password
    Your computer account password, if you have one
    Email passwords you may have used
    Your Wi-Fi network password
    Website passwords you may have used
    A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
    Have a nice day,

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    The app that does not want to update was it originally downlaoded with a different ID?  If so use that ID and hte password you set for it to update the app

  • I use Hotmail on my iPad. Yesterday I changed my password on the account using my home PC. Now the ipad requests the new password but when I enter it I get Password Incorrct and it asks to enter it again.

    I use Hotmail on my iPad. Yesterday I changed my password on the account using my home PC. Now the ipad requests the new password but when I enter it I get Password Incorrct and it asks to enter it again. The sticky part is that no matter what app I bring up including settings, the password request pop up appears and the app cant' be used

    I was going to say either that or to remove the email from your email account settings(on ipad) and put it back on. Happens everytime im forced to change my work email password. I need to delete the account and add it again for it to accept the new password.

  • TS3742 My apple after the startup and holding p+r + control+ option goes to a screen with a locked padlock and a space for me to type I've entered my admin password but nothing seems to happen and it can't get my iMac into safe mode or anything this is al

    My iMac at start up goes to the apple logo with the spinning symbol under neath it.
    After a while it goes into a screen with a prohibited symbol.
    I can't boot it into safe mode or single user mode only thing I can do is press the control, option and p,r keys and that leads me to a locked screen with a bar under neither it for me to type a password or something I've tried my admin password many times and nothing happens
    WHAT DO I DO

    Sounds like you have a firmware password set.
    As you can't do that accidentally, you surely must know the password (which is different from your admin password)?

  • Reset admin password but can't unlock old keychain

    I recently tried to install software for a new printer onto my old eMac. (Mac OS X Version 10.2.8, 640MB, 700MHz, Power PC G4). The printer installer needed my admin password for the eMac, which I'd forgotten. I booted the Emac up using the original install disc for Mac OS X and changed the password successfully (printer is working fine), but now there's 2 things:
    1. every time I turn on the computer, it requires my password, even though I've checked the auto log box in System Preferences>System>Accounts
    2. Entourage requests my password for my email account as well as my keychain password, which I don't remember because it was likely the same as the old password I also didn't remember.
    I've tried deleting everything that was listed in the Keychain Access application,and restarting the computer but the access remains locked.
    Any thoughts?

    I remembered the original password and now the keychain is unlocked and its not asking for username and password every time I turn on either.

  • I am trying to deauthorized audible account but it is asking for a username and password but when i enter in itunes info it is nt working?? How do i find out what the username is then??

    All i want to do is access my itunes on my laptop  i was told i had to deauthorize the audible account and it is asking for a username and password, i tryed using my itunes login info but it didn't work, where can i find this info to get this gone.
    Or is there another way to sync my itunes account with my laptop????
    Please please help me!!!! I need my music

    I'm confused. Who told you that you need to deauthorize an Audible account to be able to play your music? Did you ever set up an account with Audible.com? What is happening when you try to play your music?  And what exactly do you mean by "sync your iTunes account with your laptop"?
    Please provide more details as to your situation and what it is you're trying to accomplish. I'm sure once we understand what it going on, someone can provide suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Help! Tried to reset my admin password but now my computer won't load!

    HELPPPPP!!! I tried to "hack" into my iMac to reset my administrator password by holding down command + s and then typing
    mount -uw /
    rm -rf /var/db/ .AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    Not only did that not work but now when i turn on my computer it just stays on the plain apple screen and won't load.  I'm Freaking out!!

  • Creative Cloud notification "Administration rights are required-" but nowhere to enter credentials

    I told Creative Cloud (the menubar balloon) to go ahead and install CC 2014 updates, and left the computer to update. Later, I had to reboot the computer due to a power failure (all items now show as "Up to date" in the Apps tab). But I'm getting Notifications every 10 seconds saying, "Creative Cloud. Administration rights are required to complete Adobe Add-ons installation or removal." I'm happy to provide those credentials, but there is nowhere to type them! I've looked in all the tabs in the Creative Cloud balloon, and displayed all windows (so it's not hidden under something else).
    SOLUTION: I quit Creative Cloud, then opened Creative Cloud again. The notifications are no longer displaying, and applications are all up to date. Apparently something was confused by the power outage.

  • HT204266 it keep saying i  need to enter my password but when i enter it it tells me its wrong

    it keeps telling me that my password is wrong when trying to log into the app store

    The password you are entering is probably wrong. Or someone has hacked your account and changed your password. Visit https://appleid.apple.com and verify that your ID and password are correct.

  • HT201240 Ive tried all the Command-s command-r and nothing is working. my macbook pro just keeps rebooting as normal. Ive forgotten my admin password, or have re-entered it incorrectly, and it won't let me downloads mavericks. No discs. HELP

    Ive tried all the shortcuts to do without start up discs, but it just keeps rebooting as normal..... Help. I cant download mavericks, Ive changed my apple id, and that didnt make any difference......

    Any reinstallation is not going to be successful if you have invalid node structure. You have bigger fish to fry here than worrying about DVD access.

    The first step of this was to do a 'fsck -fy' and here it told me I had a 'disk0s2: I/0 error.' and 'Invalid node structure' and the volume check had failed.
    You also mention that the 10.6 disc would read from the DVD but not allow you into Disk Utility? What happened when you tried to access it? Was it selectable and then didn't do anything?
    We can't really narrow down whether it is the DVD or anything else at this time.
    If you don't have a backup of the information it is probably toast if you cannot get Disk Utility to work. I would normaly suggest DIsk Warrior but that is a $79 gamble if you are not sure if the drive is working or not. It may be your last hope to recover whatever you can from the drive.
    Also, what was the original OS installed on the machine before it crashed? Was it 10.6 or was it the 10.5.7 you mentioned?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.
