How can I change my user login (system) password if I know my current password?
Select System Preferences from the Apple menu and then click the Accounts or Users & Groups pane. Then select your account from the left and finally click the Change Password button on the right. This will automatically change your login keychain password as well.
If you don't know your current system password, see "How do I reset my system password?"
