Submitted by russianguy on October 9, 2009 - 12:29pm

Well, i went to adobe and downloaded adobe flashplayer at school. when i sarted to install it, on the 4th step it asks forthe admin user and password. Is there a default admin ansd pass?

how can i bypass that?

You cant.

You cant. Its a security feature that was brought in when MacOS started using Unix code. If you need flash to do your classwork i recomend talking to the administrator. Also if your admind was smart they changed the password.

Is there a default???

if your admin was smart there

if your admin was smart there would not be one. i dont know about OSX but on linux you have to enter a password when you set up a distro install. some live versions have a default but as i said i dont know about Mac. The Mac should be the same as installing Ubuntu or Unix like system when it comes to administrative passwords.
