Keychain renaming

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I recently changed my account's password. I remembered only an administrative password and not mine. I changed my password to what seemed to match my hint.

I don't think, however, that this is relevant to the problem I'm having since I couldn't access my keychain before I changed my account password.

I must have changed my keychain password. But, I don't know from what, sigh. I made a new keychain just to store passwords I created with various sites' "Forgot password" function. And I do know the password to the new keychain.

A few questions:

1. How do you run keychain repair? I'd like to run it on my login keychain.
2. What does keychain repair do? Hopefully, it changes the keychain password to match the account password, since I know the account password. If, on the other hand, it changes the account password to match the keychain password, my problem, alas, is not solved.

More on the above.

Can I change the names of the .keychain files in the Library/Keychains directory off my home directory? If so, I think that would accomplish what I was trying to do:
1. have a keychain that would satisfy mail's access of my mail server
2. have a login keychain that I knew the password to

I would still have to populate the keychain, but just about every site has a "Forgot password" function.

I found the "Keychain First Aid" function. It was right off the main menu for "Keychain Access".
Verify failed. The output from Repair is below.

I think the only item it was complaining about was that I had set the default keychain to "new-system" rather than login. The only thing that Repair did was to reset the default keychain to login.

Is this correct?

Again, can I do the keychain renaming as outlined above?

I just tried renaming the files in the home/Library/Keychains directory. That didn't seem to do what I was trying to do, i.e., renaming the keychains.

Please help! Thanks.
