    Sounds like you're being prompted for a password to install Flash Player.  This isn't Flash Player prompting for the password, but your operating system.  The user_id and password is that of your system, not Adobe.  For more information see:

    What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

    If this doesn't solve the issue, please provide the following information so that we may be able to assist you:

    • Operating system version
    • Web browser and version
    • Flash Player version
    • Explain your problem in step-by-step detail if possible
    • A direct link to a web page that demonstrates the problem
    • If you get error messages, please provide a screenshot
