heinst Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 tell application "System Events" set theText to name of current user end tell display dialog theText default answer "" with hidden answer set the adminpass to the text returned of the result tell application "Finder" set iconPath to (get name of startup disk) & ":Applications:Utilities:Boot Camp Assistant.app:Contents:Resources:DA.icns" as alias end tell do shell script "bless -mount /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/ -legacy -setBoot -nextonly; shutdown -r now" password adminpass with administrator privileges I have this applescript that restarts into windows and prompts for admin password before it does so. I can't figure out why it works in the applescript editor perfectly fine, but when run through alfred it doesnt prompt for the password or run at all....thoughts?

Just let AppleScript ask for the password. If you just use 'with administrator privileges' it should work fine.
