According to this article : Keychain Access: If you’re asked frequently to unlock your keychain

If you don’t remember your previous user password

If you don’t remember your previous user password, you need to reset your default keychain. Resetting the default keychain deletes all the passwords saved in the keychain, but should allow you to sync up.

  1. Choose Keychain Access > Preferences, then click General.
  2. Click Reset My Default Keychain.
  3. In the Finder, choose Apple menu > Log Out. When you log in again, save your current password in a keychain.
