Remove password prompts

I have just installed Zorin as a replacement for Windows XP on my Sony Vaio PC and it seems to be OK. However, I am constantly being prompted to enter my user password and this is a real pain. Is there a way to disable or remove password prompts ?

Can you supply a screenshot of the prompts?

It would be keyrings, it could be asking for root permissions, or it would be terminal things. Knowing which one would help us out. =]

HI, I cannot supply a screenshot of the most frequent prompt, which is after the screen has timed out, because the print screen facility won't work when Im logged out! However, I have managed to get a scren print of another event which is attached. What would be ideal is to remove the need for my user password completely. Hope this helps, and thanks for taking an interest.

I would suggest your try adding your user to the sudoers file.

basically, run the commad

Code:

sudo visudo

It is going to ask for your password. Then at the bottom of the file add the the following line (replacing USER with your user name.)

Code:

USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

You should be able to save by pressing [ctrl] + [o] and then you can exit by pressing [ctrl] + [x] off the top of my head. Then anything requiring root access shouldn't prompt.

Hope this helps!

Hi I have tried this and in native UNiX (Ubuntu) this fix has removed the password prompt successfully but unfortunately in the Zorin overlayer, the password prompt remains. Rats!

From your first response about not being able to take a screenshot at login suggests you are wanting to boot without password - is that all you require? If you go to Menu | System Tools | System Settings | Users - unlock your user (will require password! ) and change to 'logiin automatically'. Not advisable to remove all passwords as you will have issues installing apps/updating with no password to elevate you to 'root' (administrator).
