I'm running Xcode 4.3.2, under Lion 10.7.3, but every time I'm installing my iPhone app on the device it keeps asking me for an Admin user name and password.
I've done everything suggested here, and even have reinstalled Xcode:

But without success so far.
Here is a picture of the window that is appearing all the time:
Any other suggestions on how to solve this problem?
I was previously using the top-voted answer, but it needs a bit of cleanup, so here it is redone for Xcode 4, with some improvements.
I've researched every file in this list, but several of them do not exist in Apple's official Xcode documentation, so I had to go on Apple mailing lists.
Apple continues to add undocumented files, potentially corrupting our live projects. This IMHO is unacceptable, and I've now started logging bugs against it each time they do so. I know they don't care, but maybe it'll shame one of them into treating developers more fairly.
If you need to customize, here's a gist you can fork: https://gist.github.com/3786883

# .gitignore file for Xcode4 and Xcode5 Source projects
#
# Apple bugs, waiting for Apple to fix/respond:
#
# 15564624 - what does the xccheckout file in Xcode5 do? Where's the documentation?
#
# Version 2.6
# For latest version, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/49478/git-ignore-file-for-xcode-projects
#
# 2015 updates:
# - Fixed typo in "xccheckout" line - thanks to @lyck for pointing it out!
# - Fixed the .idea optional ignore. Thanks to @hashier for pointing this out
# - Finally added "xccheckout" to the ignore. Apple still refuses to answer support requests about this, but in practice it seems you should ignore it.
# - minor tweaks from Jona and Coeur (slightly more precise xc* filtering/names)
# 2014 updates:
# - appended non-standard items DISABLED by default (uncomment if you use those tools)
# - removed the edit that an SO.com moderator made without bothering to ask me
# - researched CocoaPods .lock more carefully, thanks to Gokhan Celiker
# 2013 updates:
# - fixed the broken "save personal Schemes"
# - added line-by-line explanations for EVERYTHING (some were missing)
#
# NB: if you are storing "built" products, this WILL NOT WORK,
# and you should use a different .gitignore (or none at all)
# This file is for SOURCE projects, where there are many extra
# files that we want to exclude

# Xcode 4 - semi-personal settings
#
# Apple Shared data that Apple put in the wrong folder
# c.f. http://stackoverflow.com/a/19260712/153422
# FROM ANSWER: Apple says "don't ignore it"
# FROM COMMENTS: Apple is wrong; Apple code is too buggy to trust; there are no known negative side-effects to ignoring Apple's unofficial advice and instead doing the thing that actively fixes bugs in Xcode
# Up to you, but ... current advice: ignore it.
*.xccheckout
#
#
# OPTION 1: ---------------------------------
# throw away ALL personal settings (including custom schemes!
# - unless they are "shared")
# As per build/ and DerivedData/, this ought to have a trailing slash
#
# NB: this is exclusive with OPTION 2 below
xcuserdata/
# OPTION 2: ---------------------------------
# get rid of ALL personal settings, but KEEP SOME OF THEM
# - NB: you must manually uncomment the bits you want to keep
#
# NB: this *requires* git v1.8.2 or above; you may need to upgrade to latest OS X,
# or manually install git over the top of the OS X version
# NB: this is exclusive with OPTION 1 above

# (requires option 2 above): Personal Schemes

# Xcode 4 workspaces - more detailed

# Workspaces are important! They are a core feature of Xcode - don't exclude them :)

I've had this error many times. While TechZen's answer is absolutely right in this case, another common cause is when you change the name of a IBOutlet property in your .h/.m which you've already connected up to File's Owner in the nib.
From your nib:
Under 'Referencing Outlets' make sure that your object isn't still connected to the old property name... if it is, click the small 'x' to delete the reference and build again.
Another common cause if you are using Storyboard, your UIButton might have more then one assignings (Solution is almost the same as for nib):
You will see that there is more than one assign/ref to this button. Remove one of the "Main..." greyed windows with the small "x":

The problem was that my Developer Certificate on Keychain was under "System", on the left hand panel, which is always locked, requiring my password to unlock!
Then I moved the Developer Certificate to "login", which is always unlocked, and now everything works perfectly. The annoyance of xCode asking for the password is gone.
