I’ve tried the following the instructions for “Remove Mac Keychain Password Prompts” without success.
At step 5, the menu item ‘Delete Keychain “System Roots”‘ is grey. There is no menu item ‘Delete Keychain “System.”‘
I have lost the keychain password. What do I do now. I really want to get rid of this thing.
