Keychain password and mail

I continue to have my e-mail come up with a keychain password issues. I have called apple support and started my keychain over and still no resolve. All I see in forums others having the same issue but no resolve. Any one else have an idea? I might have tried it already. Ready to ditch mac mail and just use yahoo site.

No idea how much you tried, but...

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

  • I forgot my Keychain password and I can't log in or access my applications folder to change it

    I forgot my Keychain password and I can't log in or access my applications folder to change it. Help?

    I've already done that several times. It only changes the admin password, my problem is I can't change the Keychain password, but since i can't log in without it I don't know how to change it.

  • Mavericks update locked me out of my Macbook Air and insists on a keychain password to let me in.nto my computer at all because it keeps asking for a keychain password, and I've never had one.

    I just updated Mavericks because I was unable to get Google Chromecast to work with my MacBook Air.  When it rebooted it insisted on my entering my login keychain for every single program on the computer.  I have no idea what a login keychain is, and my password doesn't work.  I can't get past the opening page and my only options are to enter the login keychain, sleep, restart, or shutdown.  What do I do?

    Thanks.   My problem is that I never had a keychain login password, and even if I did I can't get past the login, so I can't change my keychain password or delete keychains.  All I can do are enter the keychain login or reboot, which puts me right back where I started.

  • I have lost my MAC OS 10.6.8 Keychain password AND my Master password...what can I do?

    I have misplaced my MAC OS 10.6.8 Keychain passwords along with my Master password, can anyone help me resolve this?

    That depends on what you consider a "resolution"... What are you trying to do, and why? How did this come to your attention?
    Usually, your keychain password is the same as your account password. Note that if your account password is blank (contains zero characters), Keychain Access will refuse to allow you to unlock it, but generally applying a "proper" password to your account will resolve this (edit: depending on how you do it. At this stage I don't recommend any actions until you've clarified the situation).

  • Help with Keychain password AND AIM ...

    Okay, here it goes ...
    I just bought an iSight camera from a guy up the freeway, and it seems to be in working shape, however, whenever I go to use it on Safari, I get asked for a a keychain password every few seconds, which I've long since forgotten since I don't hardly ever use Safari, and I also get asked for a password for AIM,"Instant Messenger log-in password".
    THREE QUICK QUESTIONS
    1) How can I get a new keychain password since I've forgotten the old one apparently. Nothing I try seems to work.
    2) How can I get an AIM "Instant Messenger Log-In" password? I've never had one.
    3) Does the passowrd I use to log in here count for anything.
    I really hate that annoying Keychain crap! What a headache.
    Thank you all very much in advance.

    Hi SoCalFrank1,
    Open Keychain Access for inside Appleictaions/Utilities
    Double Click on the AIM item.
    Select the Show Password checkBox
    Enter the Admin password in the pop up and Allow Once
    Change the Password as required.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • Lost my keychain password and cannot retrieve it from the keychain app.

    After restarting my MacBook Pro I reset my computer password now it's asking for the keychain password which I forgot. I've tried everything including sending the keychain app to the trash (which it will not let me).

    Typically it is your admin password, unless you reset your admin password. The keychain password does not change.
    You can reset the keychain but you lose everything:

  • Hotmail passwords and Mail 5.0

    Hotmail password is not regularly retained in password collection. I need to keep inputing password to access Hotmail. Other mail server holds password without problem???

    change your password to something shorter, it'll still prompt for it but ti'll take much longer, i have no clue as to why though
    alternatively, you can just quit and relaunch mail without pressing cancel on the prompt for entering your pass

  • Passwords and Mails, newbie

    It's my new BlackBerry, and I'm really bad in all the things related to technology.
    I would lik eto know what to do about the authorisations. The mobile asked me about a PIN, which I already know, an email, and a password. I should need this to get other applications, but I really don't know where to get that.
    I'm sorry for starting something that may have been already asked, but I'm really bad at this.

    Your phone has a unique PIN as well as an email address associated to it, which requires a password to access.
    Could you clarify what you're not able to find, please. 
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • What do I do if Mail keeps rejecting my password and I cannot find it anywhere?

    I just bought a new Mac mini Lion OS. Everything was going well until I tried to set up my mail account. Even on my old Mac I was getting continual messages to enter my password and no password I tried was accepted. This was going on for the past month. Every time I tried to use Mail I was asked for my keychain password and nothing I tried would work. Then, two days ago I was setting up my new Mac mini and the same thing is now occurring. I cannot send or receive mail. I have tried a bunch of different things such as starting a new account on yahoo! mail, deleting my accounts. I don't have anything of value yet on my new Mac so I would be happy to start the entire installation process over again if that is needed. My question is: how to I get my email to work on this machine? Thanks.

    Did you happen to install Cydia or what they refer to as jailbreaker recently?
