Ah! Let me try "Try KeyChain FirstAid (in KeyChain Access)" right
now... OK, the lock is closed. I click and it asks me for a
password. I fail with my admin one. I try just no password and hit
enter and yes, I am in. I now go to the kc first aid. I say repair.
It does things, very impressive. Repairs complete (Everything in X
needs and gets constant repair it seems!). OK. Let me now lock the
lock again. Right. Now try the unlock. My password? Nope! Won't
have my admin one, it is happy with blank return though!
Still do not know how to set a password for keychain.
BTW, the keychain first aid also has a password field, it seems not
to matter what I put in there.
As miffed as ever!

I think you mentioned in one of your earlier posts that you set your
user password as just blank because you just pressed enter when it
asked for one. Did you ever reset it to something other than just
'blank'? When I follow the steps that you outlined above, it's asks
for my password and I enter the user password that I have set on my
account. You really should have a REAL password set and that will
probably solve your problems. You also mentioned in previous posts
that you had mostly been using OS 9 in the past and just recently
moved to X...remember OS X is not OS 9 and if you continue to think
of it in OS 9 terms your just going to have more and more frustrating
problems. I switched to the Mac when 10.1 was released and have
never been burdened by prior experience of using OS 9. I had to un-
learn Windows way of doing things....now when I use a PC (as I do now
have to do at work) I can't remember what to do. Get a book on OS X
and read it, there are plenty of cool things that you may find.
Remember a REAL password in OS X is a GOOD idea. Set one and free
yourself of the problems you're having.
