I will have to agree with the others on here. Having password authentication for installing software is a 'security feature'. What this does is ensure that you are explicitly intending to install the software. Rather than with Windows, for example, that will auto-install things for you, some of which could contain adware and other malicious add-ons. Linux ensures that you aren't installing something without having that explicit consent (aka: password authentication). I highly recommend not trying to bypass this feature.
