Hi nylife02,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Without knowing the exact keychain alert your are receiving, I will leave articles for the ones that are most likely the culprit. The one it sounds most like to me is “login” keychain. Please review the article below if indeed you are receiving the “login” keychain prompt.
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password

Another keychain prompt that this may be is the “Local Items” keychain. Please follow the attached article if the prompt is for “Local Items” keychain.

Have a great day,

    How do I reset my IPad 2 so it will recognize my new Apple ID? It won't let me download apps because it's still associated with my old email and ID.

    Tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of the account, and then log back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on it (you updated your existing account with a new email address, you didn't create a new account ?).

    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • HT204085 What is "local items"keychain and its password, how can i reset the password if i forgot the password

    What is "local items"keychain and its pasword. how can i reset the password if i forget the password?

    I just fixed the same problem.  Here's what to do. 
    Click on the finder, then scroll across to the GO on the top menu bar, but also hold down the option or alt key while you do this.
    scroll down the go menu to library and highlight library.
    the library folder will open
    go to the keychains folder and open it
    in the keychains folder, then click and drag the blue folder that has all the letters and numbers for a title like "A2CEEE274-....."
    drag this folder to the desktop
    now restart your machine
    when the machine restarts, you should see the keychains folder still open with a new folder in it that looks just like the one you dragged out onto the desktop
    throw the one on the desktop out in the trash
    You just reset the keychain folder so the new mavericks update could recognize it correctly, by the way apple customer support mentioned the reason this was happening was due to the update, and this is the standard fix.  The apple keychain access pw should be your apple id or logon password. 
    Good luck!!!
