I need administrator password for file management on external hard drive So I have an external hard drive, my passport, that used to be a Time Machine, but now I use for basic file storage. Whenever I try to add a folder, or manage files, it asks for an administrator password. I looked in the system preferences, and it said nothing about it there. Help.
One question first: do you still use it for TimeMachine also? If not, did you format it before you use it for what you do now?
