I'm new to Ubuntu & Linuz OS. I've started to see a pop-up window that says: System Program Problem Detected- Do you want to report the problem. When I click yes, I'm asked to enter my password to access problem reports of system programs. Should I be asked for my password ???

I am fairly new to Ubuntu, but that does not sound unexpected. Ubuntu tends to have everyone use a limited account that needs to ask for a password before carrying out operations like installing software.
