Odd. Does the account you are logging in under have Admin privileges?

Under Jaguar you can check by going to System Preferences/Accounts.

Assuming you are logging in with an account that has Admin privileges when
MacJanitor asks for a name enter the short name for the account. To find
this short name go to System Preferences/accounts, click on the account you
are using and then click Edit User.

NOTE: if you're not running Jaguar things may be a bit different.

Copy what is listed for Short Name into the Name field for MacJanitor then
close System Preferences.

Next enter your password as you normally would.

MacJanitor should then work.
