Thanks Daniel!
I think it looks like they've changed things to get it all locked down
tight to prevent student hi-jinks!!!
Yep, looks like I'll have to take the archive & install route -
although I don't really need to archive - only stuff on here since Tues
& I've kept everything I've done in specific folders on the desktop
which I can easily copy to a flash drive.
Just a PITA as I'll have to reinstall several Apps as well!
Won't be done till the weekend at least though - very short on time for
everything I have to do atm - the interior of my house looks like the
storm went through!!

Hi Barb
You've definitely got something weird going on there.
You were definitely looking in:-
Macintosh HD/Users/<name>/Library/Keychains/
The X509 Anchors should be in another "system level" keychain folder,
so for
it to be in your user directory Keychain folder is quite strange.
(I checked it on 4 machines here and in the following directory
Macintosh HD/Users/<name>/Library/Keychains/
They all have just the login.keychain file (well apart from the
Microsoft
Certificate ones).
But the X509 files are all stored in the System structure folders,
which
normally you don't need to go into.
So yeh,. Something strange is going on there.
Oh, and the folder should be Keychains with the s, so that's strange
also.
I'd be trying to correct it quite a bit, and perhaps if nothing "Easy"
solves it, I'd be going for an "archive and install" or very least
resetting
the password/keychains from a DVD/CD. (As Ronni mentioned previously).
Kind Regards
Daniel

Hi Peter
Have checked this out and under
~/Library/Keychain (not plural Keychains)
There's only 2 items:
*X509 Certificates
*X509 Anchors
Both of which can't be opened - trying gets "The item is either locked
or damaged or in a folder you don't have permission to change. (Error
-
5000)
So NO "Log-in Keychain" file to delete.
Under "Applications -> Keychains"
there's:
*FileVaultMaster,cer
*FileVaultMaster.keychain
*System.keychain
All of which are greyed out.

Hi
imac power PC 750 (2.2)
400 mhz
OS 10.3.9
Looks like the ethernet port on my emac has died - don't know
whether
the storm was responsible, but it was OK before, not working after.
As a result (after spending half the night on the phone with 3
different Westnet techs), I've got the grey/clear imac I bought from
PLC a couple of years ago up & running & finally internet connected.
I've never really used this imac up till now & it's never been on
line before.
Now I find it has a locked Keychain which keeps requiring a password
- I have no idea what the PLC password was/is.
It won't let me change the password because it's locked.
(1) How do I either kill or disable Keychain, or at least unlock it?
I hope I'm not too late with this, but the quick way to fix the
keychain issue is to navigate to ~/Library/Keychains and delete the
file called "login.keychain". The next time it's needed, Mac OS X
will
stop and ask you to confirm that you want to add your current
password
to the keychain. Just say yes and it will create a new version of
login.keychain.
(In case you're not sure, and for the benefit of others who may not
know, the "~" character in the path above stands for "Home", so
you're
looking for the Library folder in your Home folder)
