What id I've Forgotten my Keychain Password?

J

I don't even know what a keychain is but know I get in trouble whenever
Microsoft sends me an update.

Somehow every time my wife logs on to her user area and opens Entourage
to check her email she is asked for the kechain password. (as the
admin account I don't seem to be asked the same question).

I try any combination of possible passwords but all seem to go tilt.
It doesn't seem to prevent email operating but it is a pain.

Any thoughts?

The password for the login keychain should be the same as her login password
(unless you deliberately changed it). As an administrator you should be able
to change the password to anything you like.

It is also possible that on her account the keychain is set to lock itself
after x minutes of inactivity. This is a good security feature, but makes
using the keychain a royal pain in the bum.
