Why prompt for my own password?

Posted: 08-31-2006, 11:05 PM
Why do I get prompted to enter my own acount's password? I'm logged in as a
user (not administrator) and in some cases I get prompted for admin password;
this is fine. But in other cases I get prompted for Admin password or my own
account's password. If I type in my account's password, I am alllowed to
complete the change. If my account has rights to make the change, then
shouldn't I only be prompted to confirm the change? Does this sound right to
anyone else, or is this just me?
