OS X Keychain password lost

[lupin]

Anybody have any idea to reset/retreive lost keychain password?

Don't you just need your usual login information to access the keychain?

What happened was I removed the laptop battery to install an Airport Express card. Maybe I took out the battery for too long, but settings got reset and stuff. Suddenly the login password was different, and I can't login. So I put in the apple CD and changed the login password. What happens is the keychain password stays independent, and now I have no means to recover it...

After the login password change the program "Keychain Access" doesn't have any longer the same password as your user account. I'm not sure if I've understood the instructions correctly but try this:

1. Launch Keychain Access, located in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities
2. In the menu bar, select Edit > Settings for (username)
3. Press the button "change password..." and type in the new admin password
