my MacBook has started opening with boxes asking for keychain login? They won’t go away, I cannot access the laptop..

what is a keychain? And how would I know the password? It’s a new issue and I’m baffled and frustrated.

any help is welcome

The keychain's password is your Admin password unless you've changed it.

Repair Keychain in El Capitan or Sierra

Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting "New Keychain"
You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
