I was just surfing the net today, and this window keeps popping up saying "Please enter your keychain password: Safari wants to use keychain 'login' "

I honestly have no idea what its talking about. Its not my account pass, cuz thats not working...

What is a "keychain password" and what do I need to do?

You recently reset the password with the install disks, eh?
This procedure does not reset the keychain, which stores your passwords and such.
Go to your Utilities folder and look for Keychain Access.
Launch it, go to Preferences, choose the General tab and click the "Reset My Keychain".
Set the password to something you know, and that should do it.
