I am trying to install Chrome on a new Ubuntu & need password
I have downloaded Chrome to a new Ubuntu machine. It keeps asking me for a password but I don't know whose (what entity) password it wants.

You have to reset your password if you forget it.

Thanks, Sebastian,
My nephew rebuilt my old machine so I could get away from Windows XP. I am very pleased but have a lot to learn
I got the password and think I was even able to turn it off. I am the only one using this computer.
I still have a problem installing Chrome. It is in my downloads but just spins round and round, not installing. I am a long time Chrome user and would really like it back.
Any idea why chrome is not installing?
Thanks,
Nancy

There are two ways to install Chrome:
1. Download the software package from the google site:
You will need the 32bit Debian/Ubuntu version.
2. Install Chromium a version without the Google branding that is
re-distributed by Ubuntu:
https:/
Follow this link and click on the "available in the software center"
button.

Still not working; would like Google brand. Do I need to do the things on this page before I can install new programs? http://
Thanks.

No, you don't. If you click on install on the the Google Chrome
website you will get the choice to open the file or to save it. Click
on save and remember the download location. Open the folder and double
click on the file which should be named google-
An installer dialog should appear.
