To my knowledge it has not been possible to create a Mac user account without a password for many years now (edit: just tried it)

If you are prompted for a password to unlock Keychain, try leaving the password field blank.

Passwords are stored in Keychain: Manage passwords using keychains on Mac - Apple Support

The Keychain password is normally the same as your login password.

Well that was easy (and embarrassing.) This is the screen I was trying to unlock, btw. Your recommendation was the right answer, but perhaps for a different screen. Thank you!

Thank you for your response, John. Unfortunately, I don't have a login password.
