Q: Changing icloud accounts

OK:

 

Daughter has a macbook, using standard account. I have an admin account on it. She also has an iphone.

 

Her icloud was originally her @hotmail address, but we changed it to her preferred @gmail... and did all the changes so it took effect on her phone.

 

Her macbook never stopped logging in with the saved @hotmail account, but i expect the errors that were coming up for icloud being unable to login were being dismissed.

 

I missed these, and updated her OS to El Capitan.

 

She can't login using the saved credentials for @hotmail as the account doesnt exist anymore.

 

I've bypassed icloud and reverted to local login with a new password, but the OS is now bleating fiercely about wanting to use local keychain access to the machine.

 

so... how do I clean up her keychain and establish connection to her changed icloud details? I don't want to blow her user account away.

MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
