Document password restriction

Question

I have mavericks OS X and created a new user due to problems with my older user account.  The genius bar helped move all of my files over to the new user without any problems.  However now when I am on my new user and I go to make any changes to these old files it requires my password any time I make a change.  I have checked the document information and it has my new user listed with read and write permission and my older user is no longer listed and the document is not locked according to the get info screen.  Is there a way to turn off this feature of requiring a password to edit the document or a reason why it is requiring me to input a password each time?

Properly reset a user's permissions and access control lists by following these steps:
Turn on the Mac whilst holding down cmd + R. You can let go once you see a spinning dial. You will then see the ”Mac OS X Utilities” screen.
On the top menu, click Utilities, then click Terminal.
Type resetpassword and press Enter.
Click on your main hard drive.
In the dropdown box under “Select the user account” make sure to select your username.
Underneath where it says “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs”, click the Reset button.
Press cmd + Q to quit the Reset Password application.
Press cmd + Q again to quit the Terminal.
Press cmd + Q one more time and click Restart.
Click Mac OS X Utilities in the top left of the screen and click the Restart button.
