Option key missing in key chain preference pane

Hi,

I need to get to my Keychain Security Code to reinstall a keychain on my laptop.

For this I need to access the Option Key in the KC preference pane but it is missing.... To make matters worse; I also have no Advanced Options in my iPad or iPhone KC preferences; as if it never existed.... Still, to reinstall my KC on my laptop I need that code...?

Ideas anyone?

Thanks!

Barry
