I am going to play a long series of elaborate pranks on my friend, but to do so, i need to know his password. I have access to his computer while it is unlocked, but he has (smartly) set up a required password any time that you want to change almost any settings. I've figured out that I might be able to simulate the password entry screen through Applescript. This is what i need to simulate:

I have figured out how to get the lock and group icon together in an alert or dialog. The bold message is available only through alert. All I need are the two text boxes. I'm experienced enough to figure the rest out on my own. Anybody have any idea how to do this?

[doublepost=1476960886][/doublepost]I totally know how to do it, and I'm going to tell you, BUT... I am going to play an elaborate prank on your parents, and I need their home keys. The actual keys that your dad has in his pockets. You give them to me and confirm your parent's home address and I will tell you how to simulate that dialog (I mean, it's so EASY... I wonder how you didn't think of it before... And you will too). Just answer "YES" (all uppercase, no quotes) here; meanwhile I'll ask a friend of mine who lives in the US (I'm in Italy) to call you (you obviously have to state your cll phone number, too) for handling him the keys and the street address. It's EASY! Then, as soon as I receive a confirmation from my ammmmerican friend, I'll tell you how to get your friend's user password.
It is EASY!
Regards.
