Hi Cheryl, It was an error message. it said something like, the log in key chain couldn't be found, then it gave me options to continue anyway with log on, create a new key chain, and I can't remember what the third option was. I chose to create a new keychain, then it let me log on. However, now, whenever I try to do anything that requires a password, everything seems to hang.
thanks for refreshing my memory about the log on options. I'd forgoten about the groups within users and groups. also, now I am getting pop up windows that say that various components are wanting the local items keychain password, like messages, talent, and calendar. Every time I type in my new password, these windows just stay there, acting like my pass is wrong. Thanks, a totally confused, Caitlyn On Apr 2, 2014, at 5:37 PM, Cheryl Homiak <cah4...@icloud.com> wrote: > Were the keychain messages errors or were they just asking for permission?
