Passwords on your Mac
You have several different passwords on your Macintosh.
Administrator password: When you first turn on your Mac, you are asked to create a password. Write this down in a safe place! You will need this password whenever you install new software or when you make certain system-wide changes.
You can choose not to have a password. Your Mac will still ask you to enter a password, however—if you never entered one, just leave the password field blank, and click the ok or “Continue” button.
