Under normal circumstances, your keychain password is the same as your login password.


Mac passwords are never stored unencrypted. If you cannot remember the password, your only option is to discard the keychain and create a new one, then re-create all the stored passwords on the keychain. (Yes, that means one by one, in extrordinarily tedious fashion, such as clicking on "lost my password" buttons on each site you log on to nad recreating the passwords there, and re-saving them in your new keychain.)
