I decided to dis-allow non-Canonical options in my updates for 16.04 and when asked to authenticate all i get is " YOUR AUTHENTICATION FAILED " try again .
It's 3 attempts and you're out . I'm coming on as admin and I've tried every pswd in my list since Moses built his ark . Is there anyway I can change my UPDATE download settings short of re-installing 16.04 ?
