Was Changing Windows partition sizes: Now Updating Keychain Passwords Properly

After repairing permissions all seemed Ok. One thing that does bug me is that Keychain always asks me for a password to update things. It doesn't recognise any of my attempted, remembered passwords. I've tried even using the original install disk to change passwords but to no avail. Any ideas please? I sense there is something amiss at the root level, but don't know how to change the oil!

Re: Was Changing Windows partition sizes: Now Updating Keychain Passwords Properly
Hey Your keychain has probably been changed from another user account or when booted from the CD/DVD and this has changed the account password but hasn't changed the keychain password. Best bet is to login to Keychain Access and fiddle with the current one to match the password for the keychain to your current account password or simply delete it and start again! Should be able to work it out! Also, Keychain Access is located in /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access GL!

Regards If you look in ~/Library/Keychains you will find login.keychain. Move this to the trash. The next time the system requires it, you will informed that a new keychain is being created. Click the Use Default button. This will reset the keychain password to your current login password. -- Peter HinchliffeApwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
