Welcome to the community...

AutoCAD itself does not prompt you for a password to install. I'm assuming this is a Windows thing that indicates you do not have the proper rights to install software on this machine.

You might give us more details like what version of AutoCAD, your operating system, and a screen shot showing this password entry reqiurements.

Edit: @Anonymous After installation and when you are trying to activate then you may be prompted for your Autodesk ID/password to run/activate the software.

This is your OS login, nothing more: it exists because your OS is set up that way, it has nothing to do with AutoCAD

If your "me too" posts actually are related to a separate screenshot or pop-up or OS or..., then you ought to start your own post with your own topic (and your screenshot) for guidance.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! finally...

The password is not AutoCAD related. The pop up window is the MACs way of verifying the installation, so I entered my pin/password that opens the computer.

Hope this helps. @pendean
