Still unable to download FlashPlayer update

Question

I have a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  And I'm running on Safari 6.  I have been trying to download the FlashPlayer update for the Adobe Flash Player Installer 15 for the past week.   When I click on "Install Adobe Flash Player" the download box pops up.  It asks for my password, which I enter the box shakes showing that I entered the wrong password.  I have changed my password for Adobe and my administrator password.  And still nothing.  And I cannot uninstall it as I apparently don't have the correct password.  I have asked for help on this problem last week.  And nobody has been able to help.

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.

If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.

If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:
