HiWe had the same thing with some of our imaged Apple laptops that

off a disk image (dmg) as it came out of the box for you including
all the
software included with it.
My DET Macbooks had the same setup. I copied my entire OS X onto an
external drive - reformatted the HDD - then reinstalled the
profile in the new partition. After repairing permissions all
seemed Ok.
One thing that does bug me is that Keychain always asks me for a
password to update things. It doesn't recognise any of my
attempted, remembered passwords. I've tried even using the original
install disk to change passwords but to no avail.
Any ideas please? I sense there is something amiss at the root
level, but don't know how to change the oil!

If you look in ~/Library/Keychains you will find login.keychain. Move
this to the trash. The next time the system requires it, you will
informed that a new keychain is being created. Click the "Use
Default" button. This will reset the keychain password to your
current login password.
