Hello-
I have a 2002 iMac 80GB HD & 768MB Memory & just had a clean install of OS 10.3.8 with auto loggin & Fast user switching enabled by a Mac Service Center.
Now I get a very annoying "Unlock Keychain" Dialog box which constantly appears asking to enter my password-I continue to hit the cancel button on this, it will not accept any passwords. I have read the Safari help on this problem. I used Keychain First Aid & repaired the problem(didn't recognise login & system passwords)but still the same. I opened Keychain Access & was able to UNLOCK both system userers keychains but the login Keychain can't be unlocked(whether this would help I don't know), either way everything still the same.
I'm wondering if I need to delete the 2 system users keychains & create new ones(or not create new ones), try to change the passwords on the 2 users only(not to change password on login) to get rid of the dialog box which constantly pops up.
The Mac Service Tech told me he didn't know much about this area & that he would have to read all the Help etc on it also, he did say not to change the login keychain, not knowing what problems doing so could cause me.
Any thoughts on this? This has been a difficult to understand area and not sure what to do, I would simply like the Dialog Box not to appear- the way it used to be. I'm thinking if I change the password then I will still have to deal with the box & enter a new password each time-no change therefore.
TIA, Bob
