I'm new to this. Where is the user library>Keychains folder?

Click on the finder in the dock. This will open a finder window. At the top menu, click on GO and hold down the option key. Select Library in the submenu. This is your User Library. It's hidden by default in Lion.


With that finder window active, locate the folder for Keychain, click to highlight that folder and then enter TM. Go back to the correct time frame and click restore.

Repeat the process for the preference files.
