hi all,
i just bought a second hand 12" 1.33ghz powerbook with leopard on it. it seems like after every other thing i do, i get an annoying keychain access pop-up asking me to enter my login password. i didn't even setup any passwords on this machine. i open up keychain access, edit > keychain list and try to delete the keychain from there but after a restart, it reappears. this is what keeps popping up:
it comes up when i'm in Mail too. how do i clear all these password prompts for good? (i don't have any install cd's btw.)
thanks!

You can try selecting Keychain First Aid from the Keychain Access menu, but it keeps coming up because your keychain keeps getting locked. Go to the Keychain Preferences -> First Aid and make sure Keep Login Keychain Unlocked is turned on.

Tried a repair and got this:
Checked login keychain
Checked password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Password for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain is not the same as login password, so keychain can't be unlocked automatically
Login password could not be synchronized with keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain (-128)
Unable to read settings for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
User differs on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist, should be 501, owner is 0
Owner corrected on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist
Checked default keychain
Checked keychain search list
Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Checked contents of /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain
Warning: some problems were not fixed
Repair failed

Replace it with a new one as long as you can login and export.

You can open up Keychain Access in your utilities folder and delete the login keychain. You may have to re-enter some passwords, but that should stop it from asking, I believe.

I'm pretty sure one can copy entires between keychains, so create a new keychain, copy over the important entries, then delete the old one and rename the new one login. I have never had to do that personally, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
