No working password for "session" keychain

I tried each and everyone passwords that i have set on my computer when Safari and Dreamweaver ask me periodically the "session" password, but none works.
Can I reset them with an administrator password? Or another solution?
Thanks for your responses.

Your login.keychain password is out of sync with the new iCloud keychain and needs to be re-sync'd.
The new iCloud keychain is either called "Local items" if you don't have syncing enabled or "iCloud" if you enabled iCloud keychain sync.
Open 'Keychain Access' Application
Select the 'login' keychain from the keychains list
Click the lock at the top to lock the login keychain
Click the lock again to unlock the login keychain
After entering your login keychain password you should be presented with a dialog:
Clicking the reset button will re-sync your login.keychain password with the iCloud keychain password.
If everything from the above fails for whatever reason the last resort you can do the following:
Open terminal
cd ~/Library/Keychains
ls   
When you 'ls' here you will see a folder that contains a bunch of random number liks so:
94ED610F-DD96-4ECF-A2BC-7D2F8651A464  (this number is unique on each system)
rm -rf 94ED610F-DD96-4ECF-A2BC-7D2F8651A464
Reboot
<when you log back in everything should be back to normal>

  • HT1349 Last week I was prompted to do an update on my MacBook Pro which I did & now different things keep popping up asking for passwords for a keychain & it won't go away. I don't know what these are & I don't know how to access them. Help me please

    Last week I was prompted to do an update on my Mac Book Pro which I did. Ever since I did the update a box keeps popping up asking for login info for my keychains & they won't go away. I have no clue what these keychains are & I don't know how to find them & know the passwords for each of them. Plus now I don't get my email on here either. Please help me...

    Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
    As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • How to set password for X509Anchors keychain

    I'm trying to add a certificate, but the X509Anchors keychain is demanding a password. I've never set one - it must be some standard thing; anyone know what it is? If not, I'm thinking I'd just change it to something I know. I hear that you have to be root or system to do it. Can someone tell me how to authenticate as root or system to change the password in the Keychain app, or how to do it in terminal?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Well, let's see... Over at Purdue University, they say to use your administrative account password to unlock the X509Anchors keychain. Try that first.
    I tried it, and it didn't work for me. I tried it from an administrative account, and it still didn't work. Over on MacOSXHints, someone says that it shouldn't be necessary to add the certificate to the X509Anchors keychain in particular -- your login keychain should suffice (if you will only be using it from that account). If you don't need to make it work for all accounts on your Mac, try that.
    Some people say that you can't "unlock" the X509Anchors keychain, but if you double-click on a certificate, you can still add it to the keychain by entering your (presumably administrative) password.
    I haven't found an answer for "unlocking" the X509Anchors keychain in Keychain Access if your admin password doesn't work -- or how to recover from the situation. No clues on Apple's support site.
    A search on the Discussion forums turns up this thread; seems there are a number of people with this problem.

  • How do I find the password for login keychain safari

    How do I find the login password for keychain

    Hello Linc Davis,
    I am a novice MAC computer user and am being plagued by the Safari login keychain pop up, as well. Could you please tell me the steps I need to take to get to the place where I can disable this prompt. I do know my login password (for my user name on this computer), but I don't even know where the Keychain login can be found. Your help is greatly appreciated!! Many thanks!

  • I can not find the password for my keychain

    I can nor remember the password for my local keychain. How do i change this?
    Thanks.

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Follow the directions in this support article.
    Step 2
    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 iCloud 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.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    Step 3
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
    Step 4
    Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
    Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
    Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
    You can then close the folder.
    Delete the login keychain from the keychain list in Keychain Access. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
    Select
    File ▹ Add Keychain...
    from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
    Run Keychain First Aid again. Quit Keychain Access.

    You're almost there. Instead of deleting the old keychain, reset the current one.
    Open Keychain Access, and choose Preferences from the *Keychain Access* menu, and click the *Reset Keychain* button. Enter your current login password and you're done.

  • I have forgotten my keychain password was wondering how to reset the password for it

    I have forgotten my password for my keychain. How can I reset it?

    If you don't know the keychain password, the only way to reset it is to delete the old keychain and create a new one. See the instructions in Keychain Access Help. (Keychain Access is in the Applications > Utilities folder.) The keychain is encrypted, and the contents cannot be recovered without the original password.

  • PassWord for Mail?

    Is there a way to setup mail to ask for a password BEFORE! opening mail? I don't like the fact that anyone can open my mail if i'm away from my computer. Thanks

    Chances are your username and password used to login to your mail is stored in your "login" Keychain. Items on your "login" keychain can be used by apps simply because you have logged in. In Applications/Utilities there is a application called Keychain Access. You can create a new keychain (give it any name that you want) and move the mail related usernames and passwords to the new keychain. That way, OS X will prompt you for the password for that keychain (you can set it to your normal login password) before it can hand off usernames and passwords from that keychain to Mail.app
    The other suggestions that people have mentioned are good, too. One way to "lock" your system without having to log of is to go to fast user switching (if you have it enabled in the menu bar) and select "Login Window".

  • Creation of a new Keychain Entry (Internet password) for Apple Mail

    I am working on a Mail Assistant to set up a new Mail Account for Apple Mail.
    My problem concerns the creation of the Keychain Entry for the POP Account with which Apple Mail is set up (by my custom Mail Assistant).
    I am able to create a Keychain Entry with all relevant User Data, the Keychain Entry also appears to be valid (I ran the Keychain First Aid Tool to check it), but when I start the Apple Mail App, it does not recognise the created Keychain entry, but is asking me to enter the Password for the POP Account which I set up successfully.
    Any help is appreciated for giving me a hint of how Apple Mail recognises or links respectively to its adherent Keychain Entry.
    Thanks in advance
    Thomas

    Couple of things to try Theo...
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    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.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • 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.

  • After change to Mavericks my Mac become too slow e I can't use it because stays asking passwords for "talagent" and "messages agent" as icloud keys. I got changed the icloud password many times and still doesn't work. I can't open any program.

  • I removed some of my autofill websites since I had changed my password for those websites. Now my autofill is not working specifically for those websites. Please help?

    It used to work all the time.

    For Safari ?
    Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Type in the name of a website Safari no longer autofills the password for in the search field top right corner of the window.
    Then right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
    Back to Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Make sure:  User names and passwords is selected.
    Navigate to the website you just deleted the keychain for.
    Enter your user name and password.
    Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
    Do the same for other sites Safari no longer auto fills passwords for.

  • Keychain Issue for the password for my mac account.

    Keychain Issue. Keeps asking for the password for my mac account. When i type it, i keep getting "rejected the password. But it is the correct one. Verified in keychain access. "The .Mac server 'mail.mac.com' rejected the password for user XXXXXXXX. Please reenter your password, or cancel."
    Thanks in advance
    don

    But may I ask why you're using separate servers for in & out?
    I don't know the answer to that. For many years, it's always been set up like that. I have never changed anything.
    Should i delete the .mac mail account & set it up again? If so, What servers should i use for incoming & outgoing?
    Keep in mind i'm having the same issue on my desktop & laptop, both running tiger 10.4.11, as far as they will upgrade.
    I do have a laptop running Lion, but that shows an icloud account, not a .mac account like the older computers. It also has a bellsouth account with the password that is correct and a gmail account which is working fine.
