administrative password doesn't work [duplicate]

  • 772

I'm trying to install the Virtual Box extentions to add USB 2.0 functionality. While I install, a box pops up and asks for the administrative password. When I enter the password, it tells me it was incorrect and I can't install.

I only have Ubuntu installed on my laptop, and I'm the only user, so the admin password is my password.

Any help, or is this just a bug? I've got 13.04 btw.

    Try to do this:

    1. Open a terminal.

    2. Input: sudo passwd

    3. Write your user password.

    4. Write the same password.

    5. Write the same password.

    6. Try to install the extension again and write the user password.
