How to change password and keychain?

I want to change one user's password (with the GUI):
<pre> System Preferences...
Accounts
choose the right one
Reset Password...</pre>
And I see a warning window telling me:
<pre>Resetting the account password does not reset
the user's keychain password.
To reset the keychain password, use Keychain Access, located
in the Utilities folder.</pre>
This let me discover 2 problems:
- How may I change the user's password and the user's
keychain password... together?
I want to keep them to the same string and the same
managment policy (frequency of change).
- I've tried with one account the method suggested (use
Keychain Access). Unfortunately I don't see how I may
change the keychain password, because every time I try
to change it, it does first ask me to type it:
<pre>Current Password:</pre>.
How should one change a keychain password without the
previous one (when the original password can't be used)?
MacOS X version : 10.4.7
Keychain Access : 3.3

Try going to the users home folder --> library --> preferences and delete the "com.apple.keychainaccess.plist" preference file.
Also under users home folder --> library -->Keychains delete the "login.keychain" file

  • Changing Password and Keychain

    Two related questions here.
    1. I am giving a Dual-USB iBook to a good friend. I will delete some software, M/S Office for example, which I cannot legally leave on the HD. I would like to just reset the Account Name, Short Name and Password, remove personal correspondence and let him have the machine.
    Is it possible to reset the Account Name and Password? How?
    Will that make an unholy mess of the Disk Permissions?
    2. What should I do about KeyChain? I have 84 Keychain items under LOGIN, 1 under SYSTEM and 88 under X509 Anchors.
    Darn, this is confusing.
    Many thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks trlblzr-
    I was going to set up a new user account in my new DualCore G5 iMac anyway, to have it available for troubleshooting, so I went ahead and did so as a way of partially trying your suggestion.
    So...went ahead and created a new account, checking the box for: Allow user to administer this computer.
    With that new account still visible/highlighted in the Accounts window, I see there is a button for Reset Password.
    When I am doing this for real with the G3, should I at this point indeed reset the password, then immediately hilight my old user account and hit the "minus" button just above the lock at the bottom of that window???
    Many thanks,

    Hi All,
    Could you please tell me How to change password Through SU01 without having role.
    When i am going to click change password button it giving error message you are not authorize to change password.
    How to change through Debug mode.
    Regards,
    Arif

    Hi,
    Firstly ,you are not supposed to do something that you are not authorised to do.
    But still you need access by bypassing the Authorization then here is the way.
    Create a Breakpoint in FM RS_TRANSACTION_TEST at line no - 34 .
    1.Go to tcode SE93.
    2,Enter Tcode as 'SU01'
    3.start the debugger by putting '/h' in the command line and then execute.
    4.You debugger will stop at line no 34 of FM RS_TRANSACTION_TEST.
    5.the value of sy-subrc will be '4' at that point...CHnage the value of su-subrc to '0'. and then execute.
    OR use FM - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
    Regards,
