I attempted to reset Keychain; but keep getting "OS X wants to use the "local items" keychain" message

I never set a Keychain password (as far as I know); but OS X kept asking for one, so then I attempted to resent Keychain; but I still keep getting the above message. I updated to OS X Mavericks today.

Help?!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

open finder from the dock

click the go menu on the finder bar

hold down the option key

click library

open the keychains folder

there should be a folder with 8 random numbers and letters than a - and 4 more numbers/letters etc.

throw this folder in the trash and reboot.
