Hi all -
I purchased a used G4 PowerBook with a clean install of Leopard. Only user was "admin", no password.
Unfortunately I set all my system preferences and keychain passwords BEFORE I created "dragonwerx" login account. (Sigh) Now I have to reset my prefs...no big deal, but how do I get the keychain from "admin"? I can see it, but it's greyed out.
Also, when I download from Firefox, why does it put the download in the user "admin" and not "dragonwerx" account?
Do I have to sign in as "admin" and transfer it to "dragonwerx"?
Of course, that raises a whole new set of issues, but with Firefox (see my post in the Applications forum).
I realize this may have been addressed before, but I have not found it yet.
thanks for your help,
Kelley Dragon

This is a firefox problem. Also, please don't cross-post.

DragonWerx,
I've reopened this thread at your request to focus on the keychain issue you describe above.
'NN forums, any ideas on importing a keychain from another account?

sync keychain with mobile me, from your admin account
sync keychain from mobile me, using your new account.
Not too sure otherwise how to do it..

If you don't have MobileMe, log-in as the admin and drag and drop the login keychain from ~/Library/Keychains to the ~/dragonwerx/Public/Drop Box folder to copy it into your dragowerx user account.
Log-in as your dragowerx user, rename the login keychain you have copied into your Drop Box above as e.g. Admin login and move it to the ~/Library/Keychains folder. Launch Keychain Utility and you will see both your login keychain for your account and your copied Admin login keychain in the sidebar. Select the Admin login keychain. Option-drag and drop items from the Admin login keychain to your login one in the sidebar to copy them there. Once you have them all in your login keychain and have checked that they work, quit Keychain Utility and delete the Admin login keychain from the ~/Library/Keychains folder.
