Unlock Keychain

When I start the computer, the pop-up screen appears and ask for a password to unlock keychain.

"Please enter your keychain password.
Mac OS X wants to use keychain "System".

Please help.
I tried to enter the only password that I use for this computer but it doesn't help.

Thanks,

PowerBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Cuong, I think this is what might work for you - it did for me with exactly the same annoying problem :

Open Keychain app. (Utilities folder).
At the bottom left, under the sidebar, click on 'Show Keychains'.
The top of the sidebar slides down to reveal keychains - click on 'System'.
You'll see in the main large window to the right the keychain you need to delete.
Delete it from the Edit menu (or the delete key on your keyboard). It'll be recreated next time you are asked for a password, but won't keep pestering you after that (if all goes well!).
Go to the bottom left of the window and click on Hide Keychains.

That's it - as far as I can remember.
