Hey there. So I'm in a pickle, and I am really at a loss here. Any help would be so appreciated.
I locked myself out of my computer, and discovered that my usual admin password for the account that had always automatically logged on wasnt letting me actually log iNTO my account.
I then relaunched OS X via the installation disc and created a new admin account to allow myself access to the other accounts. When I went into System Preferences > Accounts and unlocked my new admin account I was able to successfully change my inital accounts password - BUT! when i logged out and then attempted to log on to my old account (of which password I had just changed), alas, the screen still yelled at me and told me it was the wrong password.
When I had another look in System Preferences > Accounts, the password change box noted that 'Resetting the account password doesnt reset the password for the user's 'login' keychain'.
It directed me towards Keychain Access but I have no clue what to do, and cant find an answer anywhere. How do I change the Keychain password on an admin account for another account to allow me to log into that account?! I really need to get in there. Is this possible?
Any help would be great! Thanks, guys!
