Local items keychain

So my battery died and computer closed. On recharge it is acting crazy. It keeps asking for “local items keychain login”. I’ve used every password I can remember with no luck. System preferences goes unresponsive pretty quickly

Hello Barbskeychain,


Sounds like you're being repeatedly prompted for your login keychain password and are unsure what password it's looking for. We'd be happy to help.


If you've changed your Mac's password at any point, it's possible your keychain is still using your old password. You'll either need to create a new one or update your existing keychain with your current password. For more information on what to do when your Mac keeps asking for the login keychain password, you'll want to review:

We hope the information here helps get you on a path to resolution, but don't hesitate to let us know if you run into trouble along the way.


Take care!
