How do I get my lost Mac Keychain password back?

0

A common problem among new OS X users is trying to enter the system password into the keychain password box. I won’t go into the details, but if you’re just getting a random request for your keychain password, try entering nothing, and just hitting enter.

Oh. That’s not to say you’re hosed. You just need to delete your old login.keychain (noted above) and a new one (with your current user password) will be created upon login. However, the point of my original post was that you will not be able to get the items inside the keychain back. They are bound-bound-bound to that old password.
