Yumex is normally showning a policykit kit dialog asking as adminstrator password, if your user is admin, then use your own password, else use root password. the error you are expiring comes if you type cancel or type a wrong password If you what to disable the need to enter password, read here http://yum-extender.blogspot.dk/2012/05/running-yumex-without-typing-password.html
I have added some better error messages based on the return codes from polkit test packages here: http://timlau.fedorapeople.org/files/yumex/
