Hi Alex,

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item.

Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Drag this file to the desktop and reboot...
