How to disable the password prompts?

sudo password policykit

To remove password prompts for commands/apps using sudo:

sudo adduser (your user name) sudo
sudo visudo

Change:

%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

%sudo  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Exit visudo- Ctrl+x, y, Enter

Run:

sudo service sudo restart

To remove password prompts for some graphical applications that use policy kit, not sudo see https://askubuntu.com/a/614537/115816.

Done. Bad idea, but there.

I've have Ubuntu 15.04 on my laptop and just about everything I do requires me to enter my password.

What do I have to do so I don't have to keep entering my password?

  Well, howdy Jim, pleasure to meetcha! Could you edit your question and show us a specific example of what you're trying to do which requires a password? Is this in the command line? In the pretty windows?

  Well you can disable entering a password when using sudo, but as far as I know there is no way to get rid of say the Ubuntu Software Center asking you for a password.

Not a full answer. This only gets rid of the password for sudo.

But then you refer to that in your answer. Don't just answer part of it.
