[QUOTE="fuge007, post: 1712622, member: 294410"] Hi Mac Newbie, I agree with all who said that you must back up the system before trying to change the system's key settings (I hope you had time machine backup running). So if you don't have one, now is the time do a backup. When you have that backup, please try this: first create a new account with administration privileges. This will be your plan B if something goes wrong and you can not login to your original account. Then change your original OSX account password and log out of it. Log back into the original account with the new password. You should get an access message about keychain and on that message window there should be a button "create new keychain". Click on that. Done. If you can't get into the original account with the new password, use the plan B account to get in and change the password of the original account from there. If all fail you need to restore your files from the backup you made before starting. I hope this helps. :) [/QUOTE]
