AHA!!
I think I may have cracked it!
Had a few more guesses at the password - using "educationally
significant" words .. "student" seems to have been acceptable (7
letters indeed Daniel!) .. doesn't seem a particularly secure choice!!
Anyway the dialogue window went away & hasn't reappeared since/yet ...
After that the password PLC gave me started working & I was able to
unlock "Keychain Access" and to trash "FileVaultMaster.keychain" &
"FileVaultMaster.cer(tificate)" & "System Keychain" from
~/Library/Keychains.
Keychain First Aid etc then became visible& accesible, but in the
"Window" column not the "Keychain Access" column.
"New Keychain" & "Add Keychain" are now also accessible in the "File"
column;
but there's still no "Preferences", either accessible or greyed out, in
any column.
Thanks for all the suggestions Ronni. Peter. Neil, Daniel .. going
through them got me thinking & trying various things.
And now I'm going to bed!!
Cheers .. BarbZ
