All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I'm having to type in my password just to modify/change a file name or location. How do I get rid of this? I use Lion.
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I'm having trouble opening password protected contents of zip files. Box for password entry does not appear on the desktop. (iMac with Lion 10.7.4)The file inside the zip file appears but cannot be opened because I'm not presented with the place to enter the password.
Suddenly Finder keeps asking me to input my password whenever I delete a file to the trash. Emptying the trash is fine, though.I thought maybe I had clicked an option in Onyx that caused this, but having looked several times, I can't see anything in Onyx that would cause this. I've tried repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility, with no effect.

Am using OS X Lion 10.7.3, All of a sudden Finder ALWAYS asks for my password each and everytime I try to delete or move a file- How can I remove this?

Is there a way to have a different mail password instead of using the one that you use to login to Lion directly? Currently the two are the same login password = mail password.I'd like to have a different password for the two.Is this possible whether via command line or otherwise?

I have just bought iMac and on installation did a transfer of settings from my Macbook Air. Now my iMac does not recognize my password or master password
I have some photos I want to send to a Windows user but I want a secure way of doing so. You can add a password to a zip file but I think thats a bit lame.
A couple times now, I've tried to copy DVDs onto my computer, then realize they won't work. I think it's because I copied the files and not the movie, but that's not the issue. The issue is, when I go to delete them, I can't. My parents have kept a password on my computer since I got it about three years ago. It's a rare occasion when they take the password off for a few days. Under those circumstances, when the password is off, I can delete the file without any issue. But when the password is on, I can't even move the file to the trash. It keeps asking for a password. I can't even move it to a different folder. It's just sitting on my desktop, taking up space. There's not even anything in it, because I stopped the copying only seconds after it started.
My question is, how can I get around the password to delete this file? I can't restart my computer or anything, because I'll need a password to do that. I need some trick that will bypass the password and get it into the trash. And deleted from the trash, if possible.
I used an external Windows formatted USB hard drive to transport my files from my old laptop to my new Black MacBook.
There are files I do not need, so on my MacBook I highlighted the files and directories and dragged them to the trash, a dialog box asked me for my password, I supplied it, then nothing happened, ie, it did not delete the files.
I am not sure what this means, and I want to delete the files.
How do I put a password on a document or file on my MAC? - I don't want it on a guest account, I have certain files that I want to keep password protected but others that are not.
I don't know how to make a folder password protected, I know how in OS 9, but, I haven't had the need forever and now I do, I'm runnign Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3. What I need to have protected is a folder that holds a backup of my website.
Any applications or something?
I tried using it in Keychain but, I don't know what I'm doing in there.
Looking to stop the password prompt from coming up every time I try to delete a file after enabling SMB file sharing for my administrator account (while working with files in that account). Everything else works fine with regards to file sharing.
