Hi,

Don't know if this will put you on the right track, but when first 
installed mine was set for auto login (no pswd), but when I entered my 
wireless key it stored it on the keyring(?) which needs a password to 
unlock it! (some people use the same password as login / root, some do 
not citing better security on multi user systems etc.)

On previous versions I set my update manager to check on system start 
and that required my root password to update package lists (I now don't 
bother with this as too many pswd's needed at login!!)

Too help further please look at top of the password box and it should 
tell you which password it's looking for (even if they are all the same 
physical word, phrase, numbers, etc.) and somebody will be able to 
assist further.
