"bla bla" want to use the "Local Items" keychain, but password isn't accepted.

I followed all the steps up untill the group of numbers which I had two, i did the same for both of them, when after I wrote reboot, mac refused to reboot. After I repeated the entire process again, now I come up with "breadcrumbIdentifier" and nothing changed. I manually rebooted my Mac, and I keep seeing the keychain popups still. At the moment I am dl ing Sierra hoping it will help. Could you please help or at least comment on this if anyone had the same experience too. Thank you in advance

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved and is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.

This helped me. I had the same problem after upgrading from 10.9 to 10.9.1 on my macbook pro. Scary.

I can't seem to make the suggested solution work. When I enter cd~/Library/Keychains I get an error message that no such file or directory.

You typed it wrong

cd ~/library/keychains

There is a space between cd & ~

Great. That got me further. I then entered Is but it says command not found. Now what?

This is rccatylysts solution, I just corrected the typo you made. He'll see this and hopefully return to help you out.

The list command "ls" the first letter is l for lollipop. You typed I for India.

Thank you very much. It worked.

Thanks! It worked for me too. Does anyone understanding what the commands are actually doing?

Finally worked for me too once I got over the pecularities of the commands. I too have no idea what the command meant but all I know is that they worked. Thanks again.!

1. cd ~/Library/Keychains "cd" changes the current directory to the chosen one
2. ls "ls" says List all files in the current directory (that we just changed)
3. rm -rf "rm -rf" says remove the file following the command, the -rf bit says don't ask, just do it, and completely!

Linux and OSX share most of these unix-type terminal commands http://ss64.com/osx/

Deleting the keychain is irreversible and should be the last resort. Try current and previous passwords (if you remember) first. In my case, I faced teh same issue. I had to try the previous password, which worked. I didn't have to delete anything.

My Mac is setup is in a corporate network and it uses the LDAP password, which has to be changed every few months. While Mac does cache the new password for the purpose of login, looks like the same is not used to update the keychain password. Which means that you have to manually change it.

Not sure I would totally agree mbajpai, keychains can easily get corrupted, and deleting is one of the standard options. Linux and OSX share the luxury of being able to delete these simple reference and preference files with little harm done, unlike Windoze with its ghastly registry complications.

They are easily reconstructed by simply replying to requests for passwords when asked.

If you ever have the misfortune of having to change Apple-ID due to a change in email address, then believe me deleteing the whole Keychain mess and starting again is a good plan.
