Weird things popping up when I turn on my computer

Hi! My computer was being a little weird and everything got fixed but after having to reinstall my computer from my back up disk, every time I turn on my computer now there is a message box that says: Talagent needs your password for your keychain. Then it goes through about 6 other populous essentially saying the same thing-that it needs my password. This happens EVERY time I turn on my computer.

Is this something I should be concerned about? And how can I make it stop doing it every time I turn on my computer?

Thanks!

Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities > Terminal.
In the Terminal window type resetpassword and press Enter. A window will open behind Terminal that looks like this:

Do not enter a new password.

Select your startup volume at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account with the problem.
At the bottom of the window, you will see Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
Click the Reset button.
Quit Reset Password
Quit Terminal
Quit OS X Utilities and restart your Mac.
