Password problem

[Ryssen]

I did a new install and every thing went well,I can create mew users and install new programs with the password.Then all of a sudden when trying to install programs it wont accept the password...
I even did another new installation (Virtual box) and the same thing happend.
After a while it won accept the password.
Is there a soultion to this?


Edit:The password still works to logg in to my user.

Which version are you using?

What were you doing the last time it excepted your password?

As I have Ubuntu on Virtual box I Think I was working in windows,can remember doing anything special in Ubuntu,

I had an issue with this concerning a network installation of Lubuntu. Not sure if this is the same problem, but seems like it.
The solution from the linked post was to open a terminal, and run

gconf-editor

Navigate to Apps>gksu
Ensure that 'sudo mode' is checked.
