To fix your Keychain problems, go to your Utilities folder and open Keychain Access. Follow the steps here: Mac OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password.


As it says, if you do not remember your original login or keychain password, your only alternative is to delete the Keychain. That means you will need to provide any passwords you used for such things as Mail accounts and websites that would otherwise be automatically provided by Keychain. You will only have to do that once.
