OS X Conundrum!!!
Is there any possible way to reset a keychain password without knowing the password as it currently is? My system password was forgotten and it was reset using the OS X install CD per instruction from my OS X book. However, after this I cannot access my keychain! As a result, Mail will not work at all, as the keychain is locked! Is there anything I can do? Thanks.

1. Start up from the Mac OS X Install CD.
2. Select Reset Password from the Installer menu.
3. Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
4. Set the selected user to the name of your original Admin.
Note: Be sure to select your Admin user name. Do not select "System Administrator". System Administrator is actually a referrence to the root user, and it should not be confused with a normal Admin user.
5. Enter a new password.
6. Click Save.
