Keychain problem on Mac Pro

I have been using keychain on my MacPro with no problems until I changed my Apple ID password. Now, when I login to my MacPro, I am prompted by the following:

com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to use the login keychain.

Please enter the keychain password.

But, the dialog box will not allow me to type in the space provided for my password, even though it shows that the box is active.

Suggestions for a fix? It's rather annoying to have that pop-up box come up and NEVER go away ;-)

Thanks!

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Hey snowmoose54,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like you changed your password and now the keychain has the wrong password saved.

If you go into keychain access you can remove the application password or all the password by resetting the keychain, the next time you sign in to a site using a password, keychain access should save the password. Then whenever you start the computer it should not pop up with a window asking for anything.
