Trying import Chrome bookmarks to Safari but i need Keychain password

I finally fixed my Safari where some sites wont go black. So i wanted to impost all my Google Chrome bookmarks to Safari but unfortunately i can5 get passed this:

(sorry about that, i don’t see how it got sideways)

I don’t remember setting up anything called “keychain” let alone having a password for it. I tried my Apple password and my sign in password.. nope! If i do have a keychain password, i don’t know it and when i try to ask for a new one, it needs the old one. Now if i can remember the old one i wouldn’t need a new one. Is there a way to turn that keychain thing off or delete it. i just want to import my bookmarks.

MacBook Air, macOS 15.3

The Keychain password is normally set to its corresponding User Account password — your "login password" as that dialog states. Since you already tried it and it didn't work, you might as well delete that Keychain. It's utterly useless without its password.


Refer to Delete a keychain in the Keychain Access User Guide for Mac - Apple Support.
