I cannot reset my keychain because the application always freezes when I try it.

I tried some suggestions I read about keychains problems, but they did not work.

My problem is: I cannot reset my keychain because the application always

freezes. So, what to do?

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.


Safe Mode


Safe Mode - Mavericks also Yosemite
