Hi guys. I dont know if it is right forum to open that subject. I have a keychain problem. All i have done is to change my Mac's administrator password. Then keychain started to ask password etc. And my boss created a new keychain list but now i cannot add any development or distribution certificate in keychain. Local Items look empty. So i cannot install any of my applications in real device. How i can add certificates in keychain back ?

After you or your Mac administrator resets the password of your macOS user account, your Mac might ask you to update your keychain password or enter the password of your login keychain. It might also tell you that the system was unable to unlock your login keychain. That's because your login keychain is still using your old password.

If you don't know your old password, the solution is to create a new login keychain.

If you know your old password, use that password to update your existing login keychain:
  1. Open the Keychain Access app, which is in the the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
  2. From the Edit menu, choose “Change Password for Keychain 'login.'”
  3. Enter the old password of your user account in the Current Password field. This is the password you were using before the password was reset.
  4. Enter the new password of your user account in the New Password field. This is the password you're now using to log in to your Mac. Enter the same password in the Verify field.
  5. Click OK when done, then quit Keychain Access.
