Keychain got deleted!

My keychain on my MacBook Pro (2014 or 2015) got deleted. Yes, the program 'Keychain'. Is there anyway to add that back to my System Preferences? I keep getting pop-ups and want to throw the computer out the window. Without the keychain, I cannot store my passwords. Any ideas how to add it back to my computer?

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.10

Reinstall macOS.


Reinstall El Capitan or Later Without Erasing Drive


Please be sure you back up, if possible.


  1. Restart the computer. Immediately, at or before the chime, hold down the Command and R keys until the Apple logo and progress bar appear. Wait until the Utility Menu appears.
  2. Select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button.
  3. Select the indented (usually, Macintosh HD) volume entry from the side list.
  4. Click on the First Aid button in Disk Utility's toolbar. Wait until the Done button activates, then click on it.
  5. Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
  6. Select Install OS X and click on the Continue button.
