Hello,
The password being requested is your computer's admin password. Is that the password you attempted to use (some users try to use their AdobeID password).

"If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

I had to buy a new Mac Book Pro. When I tried to install Adobe Flash Player, I couldn't get into it with any of my passwords. Can I reset my password and if so, how do I do that? Thanks

I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY PASSWORD FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER

It's NOT an adobe password you need. It's your Operating System password, and NO ONE here knows that or can reset it.

What password did you set up in the Setup Assistant when you created your initial user account? This is the password it wants - your admin password. If you did not create one then see below:

I want to upgrade my Adobe Flash player and its asking for a password.

I want to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player but its asking for a password and I cannot remember setting one when I first downloaded Adobe Flash. What to do?

Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
Clinton

Adobe Flash Player & passwords

A pop-down asked me if I wanted to update Adobe Flashplayer. Unfortunately, I said yes.
Now I can’t play any videos on the internet.
When I tried to access Adobe Flash Player, it asked for my password – but didn’t accept the one I entered. If I try to uninstall Adobe Flash Player, I also need a password.
I found my apple ID and re-set my password by going to
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
I was advised that my Apple ID password had been reset.
When I went into System Preferences, though, and tried to set my Apple ID - my new password was ‘incorrect’.
To ‘Change password’, I need to know the old password – which I don’t.
Also, the lock is shut and I can’t click it open ‘to make changes’. The ‘Allow user to reset password using apple ID’ box is not ticked.

When being prompted for passwords to install/remove Flash it is your Admin password not your Apple ID password you're using - yes?
You may want to start over with Flash by using Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in your Utilities folder. When prompted for a password use your Admin pw.
Download the latest version of Flash direct from Adobe: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Once installed, and if you are using Safari, make sure that Enable Plugins is ticked in Safari Preferences>Security tab.
For your Apple ID (not your computer admin pw) have a look at Keychain Access in Utilities. Click on Passwords and then find the entry 'daw.apple.com...........', select it, click the show password box, enter your Admin pw at the prompt and it should show you your Apple ID pw (I think the information I'm giving here is correct). That should confirm what you think your Apple ID pw is.
Then do a restart and try logging in to your iTunes or Mac App Store account.
If that doesn't help resolve your Apple ID problems, not sure what to suggest next other than re-visiting:

Hi everybody..i have an enigmatic problem since i bought MacBook Air..i can't watch youtube videos and i did install the latest adobe flash player BUT when i start to install it the system keeps asking me to enter a password ? which password i need ??????

Your admin account password.

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

Volume not saving in the Window's volume mixer. Resets back to 100% [Adobe Flash Player]

This problem is rustling my jimmies hardcore
Everytime I restart Firefox or Internet Explorer "Adobe Flash Player 11.3" always resets back to 100% in the Window's volume mixer while everything else stays put.
My Skype volume never resets after a restart, my Firefox volume never resets after a restart, my WMP/VLC players never reset after a restart. Why does this
How could something so obvious get past QA, quite frankly I think it's embarrassing for a company as big as Adobe.

When you have a minute, please vote for the following bug: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3210127
As for working around this issue, please see the following FAQ. In particular, you can either disable Protected Mode or revert back to a previous version of Flash Player.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
