My Macbook Pro keeps coming up with "accountsd wants to use the login keychain"\

Hello recently my Macbook Pro Mountain Lion keeps coming up with "accountsd wants to use the login keychain" with a blank space to put my password. I have never seen this so I am a bit wary. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

I tried several things, from deleting entries in keychain (which only made things worse) to several other things I saw.

The only thing that really worked was to reinstall OS from scratch, I mean, erase your disk and reinstall.

When the system is back, use the very same password you have for iCloud for everything in your Mac.

It is not ideal, I know, but that is an approach.
