[QUOTE="Mac Newbie 01, post: 1712142, member: 375209"] Thanks! I just deleted the individual files in the keychain “login”. Then I control clicked on “login” and clicked “delete keychain” + “delete references and files.” I attempted to do the same with "local items,” however the option to delete is greyed out. I was only able to lock it. I did not touch the System or System Roots. Then I followed your suggestion to go into another admin account, downgraded my personal account to standard user. Rebooted. Upon signing into my account, I received the pop-up: “OS X wants to use the Local Items keychain” I ticked cancel. Now I navigated to a website in Safari, and am getting the error message “A keychain cannot be found.” When I click the “?” it doesn’t show me any further info. I had to repeatedly click “Cancel” several times for it to cancel. Do these sites need the keychain for things other than passwords? Will my Mac work incorrectly now that I have deleted these password files? I did not delete anything marked “keys” as I do not know what this is, only files marked “password.” [/QUOTE]
