Just to add to that, at least on my system, the sudo prefix is necessary because the regular user does not have write access to the folder /usr/local/texlive/ where the database is stored. I am pretty sure that is standard setup in Mac OS X. Thus, I said that not because I wanted to wreak havoc on your system, but rather to assure texhash has the desired effect. And yes, the password should be the same as the admin password.
