In the second section entitled "Remove the private key from the master keychain"

I have no problem unlocking the Keychain but

I get this message when I try to delete the Private Key:

Open System Preferences/Security and Unlock the Preferences pane
Scroll down to Full Disk Access and Highlight it.
Click the Plus (+) sign under the Allow the Apps.. Window and add Keychain Access
After this you will be able to delete the Private Key.
