When I enter Safari>Preferences>Passwords I get a message "Passwords Are Locked. To unlock passwords, enter the password for the user (followed by my name)". The box to Enter Password is blank. I assumed the password required was either my Apple ID password or my iMac Password. Neither worked. I then simple pressed the Enter button and I was in! Is there a way of adding a password to this box to give me a little more security?
Thanks

Hi Michelle. Thanks for getting back to me. The problem was I had reset entries in the KeyChain and somehow in that process I had done something to both my Apple ID and Mac passwords! Following advice from Apple Support I changed both and all is now well. The Password section of Safari Preferences is also working as it should. Your advice would have solved it in any case.
