Hi Smockus,


I understand that you are having issues with the Login keychains and none of the passwords are working. Let's see what can be done about that.


Now it should be the original password for your computer. If you have changed your password recently before the update, then you would need to use the very first one. If you don't know that information, then you will need to either reset or delete the keychain and start over. Take a look at the article below for more details.
