Yes. I went through 49 possible passwords before I discovered the keychain password. What a nightmare. The problem is that when I must change the login password every 6 months to my computer (a university laptop), the keychain didn't change passwords, too. So I was absolutely stuck hunting through old passwords from my university. Even though the box was checked to synch passwords, the keychain was never synched to my other password.
