Welcome to SMF.
There is no need for a poll.
SMF ask you to enter your password as a security measure, you just need to enter your password every once in a while, after you entered it, you still need to actually install the mod: Package Manager (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Packages)

hmm... actually, Suki, a few people have been complaining about this. Their SMF is not behaving normally... it keeps asking for the login in the admin and never completes the action.
Fenz0,
poll removed.
What smf version?
what is your setting for:
local cookies?
subdomain independent cookies?
database driven sessions?
What is your forum URL in the server settings?
What URL are you using to access your forum (specifically, does one of those answers have a www. and the other not have the www?)

Can only recall the FTP login when installing mods when the permissions on folders and files are not set properly !!
chmod 750 your root folder /public_html or /httpdocs depends on your hosting panel (Cpanel / Plesk / DA )
chmod 755 all files and folders underneath
try again afterwards

Hi Fenz0, just so you know, there's a rule here not to bump posts within less than 24 hours. This is because everybody here is a volunteer and provides support in their own time in between work, family, real life, etc. The people who can help you may well be either at work or asleep right now, so please be patient and somebody will be along to help you when they are available.
Also, please try to help us to help you by providing as much detail as possible. Replying "didnt work" doesn't help anybody.

You also can make an screen-shot of the page showing the error you get, if you can not describe it well

right...
So this is what I explained in my first response.
It's not an error message.
Basically, the session is not being preserved and thus is requiring a new login for every action, even without resolving the previous action.
Cookie settings and session setting are the two main causes for this
it is not an FTP thing
it is not a chmod thing.

well, that explains it...
you either need local cookies OR subdomain independent cookies.
having BOTH unchecked is causing your problem.
I'd suggest using subdomain independent cookies, unless your server is using zeus.

Have you checked the box for "subdomain independent cookies" as Kindred suggested? What was the result? If it didn't work, please explain, did the forum continue to log you out?

Fenz0,
you have already been told. DO NOT BUMP YOUR POSTS.
So, you set subdomain independent cookies to CHECKED and you left Local cookies UNCHECKED
and then you cleared your browser's stored cookies and cache?

well, "not working" is hardly a useful description.
However, if you ACTUALLY meant "It is still doing the same behavior"
then I have no idea. My only suggestion is that you try installing a second forum on the same host in a different directory and see if it also acts the same.
(hmmmm... just occurred to me: How did you install the forum in the first place?)

no. I answer questions on the forum and occasionally help people with a login, but I do not have team viewer and do not do support via IM.
you still have not answered my question:
How did you install SMF?

why would you be buying new domains? When did we ever tell you to do something like that?
If you have a fresh installation on smf in a different directory and with a different database, but on the same server and it still gives you the same result, then it is a problem with your host.
