Forgive me if this is stupid, but I installed a program for my roommate on their account. I cannot get the program to run without the 'administrator pwd' prompt. I changed their account abilities for the program for 'full control' , and it is still asking for a password. Is there something more that I need to do?

apparently you clicked something to add a "PSW". If your the ADMIN and your account is PSW protected it is simply asking for your "psw".

If your friend is the Admin then you need his "PSW".
