OK--I'll have my friend try this. When I was there and opened the Keychain Access app, there was nothing in the main panel, but now I realize that I wasn't looking in the "keychains" panel. If there's a locked login there, I'll tell my friend to delete that. Will it then automatically start another login keychain next time she logs in? And from then on, she should be able to save passwords (like from Mail or whatever) in the keychain using the login password that I recently reset using the install disk?
