How do you undo the Keychain security that somehow was started on my email. Do not have a passcode.

Email just stopped letting me send out emails saying in need a Keychain passcode which I never created, do not have. How to I disable this?

That's an odd requirement, but I suggest you don't try to fix it in the manner it appears to suggest.


The best way to fix a recalcitrant email account (failure to send / receive alleging incorrect credentials) is to remove the problematic account, and add it again.


First remove: Remove your email account

Then add: Add your email account


Those subjects are addressed in If you can’t send or receive email on Mac - Apple Support so be sure to review that entire document.
