If I understand your question, you are having issues with the login keychain. The password that you are being asked for here is the administrative password for your computer when you first turn it on. The resource below explains how to reset the login keychain, or delete it and start fresh with your current computer user account password.
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password
If you don't remember your original password, you'll need to delete the keychain. Deleting a keychain also deletes all the password data saved in that keychain.
- Open Keychain Access (you can get to it by choosing Utilities from the Go menu in the Finder).
- In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
- If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
- If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
- Delete the "login" keychain.
The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
