Q: I've forgotten my keychain password

Hello lynda1010,

I have located an article that can help in this situation. It will help you recover your Keychain in case your password is unknown:

Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X - Apple Support

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it can't repair, or if you don't know your keychain password, you might need to reset your keychain. 

 

 

Resetting a keychain sets aside the original default keychain file and creates a new one.

To reset your keychain in Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or later:

1. Open Keychain Access, which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
2. From the Keychain Access menu, choose Preferences.
3. Click General, then click Reset My Default Keychain.
4. Authenticate with your account login password.
5. Quit Keychain Access.
6. Restart your computer.

To reset your keychain in Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.3.9:

1. Open Keychain Access, which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
2. From the Window menu, choose Keychain First Aid.
3. Click Options...
4. Click Reset My Keychain, which is under the General pane.
5. Authenticate with your account login password.
6. Quit Keychain Access.
7. Restart your computer.

Take care,
