I don't own a Mac, so I have no direct experience to help.  But I do
know that Python does not require a password to run.  First a link
that might help you solve your own problem:

https://docs.python.org/3/using/mac.html

If this does not help, then you need to provide more information:

1)  How exactly did you install Python and what version did you install?

2)  What is the exact version of your Mac OS?

3)  How did you try to "run" Python?  Normally you can either fire up
IDLE, which should appear in your list of programs, perhaps in a
Python folder?  The other way is to open up a terminal window and type
"python3".  This latter way would put you in the Python interpreter
where you can type in Python commands and see what happens.  The final
way to run Python is to create a file containing Python commands and
then executing that Python program, either from inside IDLE, an IDE or
editor you like, or from the command line, say by typing "python3
<name/path of your program file>.

HTH!
