"Login keychain" password - invalid password. All messed up thanks.

I think Leopard, or the most recent QT upgrade has really messed with my system:
I restart and using my login password I've used for years:
"ichat agent wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password
"Mail wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password
"PubSubAgent wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password- and I can't cancel out of that one.
System preferences wants to use "login keychain"" - invalid password. Then after a minute "keychain error. There was a problem saving to your keychain. Please try again or use keychain access to verify your keychain. Error -128
Go to keychain access- Unlock my user keychain then spinning beach balls. Force quit etc
(Can't login to iDisk iTunes or anything now...)
Really unhappy now.

I also have similar issues. And followed the advise below.
1. Insert the Leopard install disk, restart holding the "C" key down
2. Choose your language so you go to the first page view of install
3. You can reset passwords in the menu above
4. Select root and reset your password to what you like
5. Quit and restart
6. Choose "Other" as a login
7. Choose system preferences
8. Select users that you have registered on the computer
9. Select option that users can be administrators
10. Restart and login as the user of your choice.
I did this and was able to login using the "other" account and changed the sys admin password. Gave my user admin priviledges.
But now, I have a circular problem. I can't remove "invalid certificates" from my keychain access app.
Help!!

  • Login, Keychain and FileVault passwords

    If someone gets access to my machine and changes my password in Single User Mode, then logs into my account, would they be able to access a) my Keychain and b) my FileVault-encrypted home directory?
    At the moment, both of those are unlocked automatically when I log in.

    no. keychain p[assword is separate from the login password and changing one does not change the other.
    and b) my FileVault-encrypted home directory?
    no. and in that case they won't even be able to log in.
    At the moment, both of those are unlocked automatically when I log in.
    that's because you have automatic login on and you have your keychain password set to be the same as the login password and to unlock on login. all those things can be changed if you want.

  • Can't get login keychain password to work

    So now all my autofills don't work, it's messing with my email connection, internet connection etc. Is there a way to figure out the password or a way to open this login keychain without the password?
    Thanks

    Hi your Login Keychain can be configured to remain accessible to you whenever you are logged in to your system. Here is some [info about the Keychain|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh460.html] which you might find helpful.
    When you are logged out (or your computer is shut down) your keychain is unaccessible.
    The fact that you got in with an old password means that this password is still active for certain tasks in your system.

  • 'Invalid password' with newgrp

    I created a new group "test" and assigned a password to it:

    Did you try quitting iChat AV, trashing the com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and com.apple.iChat.plist, empty the Trash, restarting and then reset the iChat preferences and accounts? or apply the Keychain update? or run Keychain First Aid?

  • What is my login keychain

    can i get some help on what to use as my login keychain?  Prevous passwords don't work.  THanks in advance

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Duplicate login keychains!?!?!

    Somehow, during a "clean-up", I ended up with two identical versions of my login keychain. I think I messed up the original, created a second while trying to fix it, then restarted and now have two.
    Can I merely select one of them and delete it?

    Yeah, but you may wish to Archive it before... in case it's some other reason it messed up.

  • "invalid password "on Iweb Test. and on SEO Tool, Login Failed Login Authentication Failed, ALL SETTING ARE CORRECT HELP

    I have been updating my site over the last week, using Iweb SEO TOOL, but suddenly 2 days ago I can no longer update when i go to publish it says "invalid password "on Iweb Test. and on SEO Tool, Login Failed Login Authentication Failed, the password and all settings are correct.
    I am 100% sure the all the setting are correct, as it has been working for the last 7 months and I have just been updating it, then suddenly it stopped, I have all the FTP settings wrote down, and even changed the passwords twice hoping that may work to no avail.

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • Unable to type in the "login" keychain password

    When I switch on my iMac G5 I am asked for my keychain password: but I can't type in the space provided. I can still use the computer normally, e-mail, internet etc. are all unaffected but the pop-up box asking for the keychain password won't go away, (and won't allow me to type in the password).
    The message I get is, "com.apple.internetaccounts.xpc wants to use the "login" keychain"

    Only thing that got me around this was a clean install of Mavericks on the new Mac and , when I used migration assistant, avoiding transferring the network settings. It was my mother in law's Mac so I essentially only transferred her documents and mail messages. I then went back later and manually transferred the music and photos. I ' knew' there was some issue with the OS itself because I had tried to clone the old system with Super Duper as an extra back up and even that balked with an error. Shrit Pocket Supprt read the error file and it was they who divined that that my "old" copy of OSX was corrupted. Plus I was umm more familiar with this scenario as this was the second Mac that I was having this issue with. Admittedly both the upgrades in question were from Macs that had been transferred and transferred and transferred etc so I am not surprised that there was something crappy that had got passed through. Bottom line: clean install of Mavericks then manually move over what you need is the cleanest way in this scenario unfortunately. Yes a whole lotta work!

  • DRM-61026: Unable to create user session for the following reason: Login failed. Invalid user name or password.

    All Im very new to Oracle DRM and Im trying to get the app setup on Windows server running SQL Server 2008.  When I try to login to the Web Client I keep getting this error.
    DRM-61026: Unable to create user session for the following reason: Login failed. Invalid user name or password.
    Can you please help

    This might be due to The 'Oracle Instance' path may not have been set to a path relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine) on the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
    if this is the case then
    1. Open the DRM Configuration Console.
    2. Go to the Configuration > Host Machines > CSS > General tab of the DRM Configuration Utility.
    3. Ensure that the path in 'Oracle Instance' has been set relative to the 'CSS Bridge Host' (i.e. the Foundation Services machine defined in 'CSS Bridge Host').
    4. If corrections are made to 'Oracle Instance' then restart the DRM services to pick up the change.

  • I can't add a second email account. I get a message next to the password field 'Username or password invalid'. I can login to gmail web ok, imap is enabled.

    I have setup TB using a gmail account and is working fine. When I try to add another gmail account I get an error 'Username or password invalid'. I can login to this second gmail account through the web at gmail and the account has imap enabled.
    ps - i've been using these accounts for years through the web
    Thanks

    I also tried deleting TB altogether and reinstalled trying the problem gmail account and it still didn't work.
    While checking on the 2-factor authentication, which I don't use, i noticed something. The working gmail account allowed 'access for less secure apps' and my problem account didn't. I enabled that and was able to add it to TB. All works now!
    Not sure if the less secure apps is a good thing, but its working.
    Thanks Christ1
