How do I reset my keychain password?
You cannot recover your keychain password but you can remove it from active duty. Deleting the keychain sets aside the original default keychain password file and creates a new one (you can add the file back if you remember your password later.) Open Keychain Access from Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities. Choose Edit from the Keychain List menu and select the login keychain. Click Delete (-) to remove it.
