Keychain doesn't work

Question

Keychain isn't holding my logins and passwords for internet - on either browsers Safari or Camino. Another family member used my computer yesterday and their FaceBook login kept defaulting rather than mine, so I kept changing it back to mine - not no logins hold for any internet sites.
Message I get: "Keychain "login" cannot be fount to store "(my login name)"
So, I select button "RESET to DEFAULTS" but nothing changes.
I've gone into Keychain Access for Mac OS 10.4.11:
Keychain Access> Preferences> Reset My Keychain> (authenticate)
This is the message I get: "Unable to update /Library/Keychains/"
"Something else went wrong"
I need some help - real nuisance. Have to authorize every check for email too.

Since your browser of choice is Camino maybe this will help:
*Allowing applications to access your keychain*
Applications that use passwords can't retrieve a password from your keychain without your permission. When a message asks you to confirm access to your keychain, you see several options:
Deny prevents access, so you'll have to provide the password yourself.
Allow Once grants access this time only.
Always Allow lets the application retrieve the password at any time without asking.
If you want to allow an application, such as Mail, to access your keychain without asking you, you can select this option in Keychain Access.
To set up automatic keychain access for an application:
Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities.
Click Show Keychains if the Keychains list is not open, then select a keychain.
Select Application in the Passwords category. Click the disclosure triangle if Application doesn't appear.
Double-click the password in the Keychain window, then click Access Control.
To allow access to this password by any application, select "Allow all applications to access this item."
To control access to this password, select "Confirm before allowing access."
To require the keychain password instead of the application password, select "Ask for Keychain password."
To add individual applications that can access this password, click Add + and navigate to the application you want to add.
IMPORTANT: If you select "Allow all applications to access this item" for an item in your keychain, you make it easy for a computer virus or other software to read the password.
Click Save.
