Is there any way to disable the "Click the lock to make changes" needing a password, or is there a way to permanently unlock all settings in Mountain Lion? More specifically I'm turning the Network Link Conditioner ( to simulate slow connections ) on and off frequently from its system preferences pane and it needs a password each time and it's getting annoying. I'm comfortable with the security issues this presents. ( Would be nice to put it back at some point though? ) I know I could try a different network throttler, just wanted to know for future. Thanks, Paul
