In cases where User elevation fails due to an incorrect password, the dialogue box should typically include a field for entering a new password.

However, if you do not see this option, you can manually update the password stored by AutoElevate for the user by following these steps:

  1. Open the "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoElevate\AECredentialInput.exe" program.
     
  2. Enter the new password for the currently logged-in user.
     

By manually updating the stored password using this method, you should be able to address User elevation issues related to incorrect passwords.
