"assistantd wants to use the 'login_renamed_1' keychain" continuously popping up on Mac, login password not recognized

So I recently opened "login_renamed_1.keychain" in ~/Library/Keychains (just exploring), and now random system apps (especially "assistantd") keep asking for the password to the "login_renamed_1" keychain, and all the passwords to all the user accounts on my Mac are incorrect, so I can't unlock it. I even tried my Apple ID password. No luck.

I have searched the web, but no luck. I have migrated my account, if that helps.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Help!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

It's not the "login" keychain, nothing wants that (and I am able to unlock it just fine). It's "login_renamed_1".

Now user apps are asking for the "login_renamed_1" password! Help!

I have a "login_renamed_1.keychain" file in ~/Library/Keychains/login_renamed_1.keychain

Ok, I just reset my password using the old one. Now the password for the "login_renamed_1" keychain is the same as my "login" keychain password.
