Quite a long time ago when I had only had my imac for a short time I did a really silly thing and wanted to stop my adult son from getting on my apple. So I changed the password unaware it was the admin password but the thing is I forgot the new one and we were locked out. Anyway I put the install disc and resart the password but now everytime I restart or login keychain asks for verification of password of renamed login and so does mail wanting mac. I had read how to fix the problem in a copy of nzmac or maclife but am currently having trouble finding the article. Any suggestions?

Just a random shot in the dark, but it could be linked to your keychain password which is a separate entity. A fiddle with that may do something.

You might be right, however I have little knowledge about key chains. I can locate them etc but thats about all

Open Keychain Access. Open preferences, and have a play there. You might want to look at reset my keychain or possibly synchronise login keychain password with account.
Under Edit, you could change the password.

Still having a problem but another now see screen shots. I have had trouble for a while now with syncing .mac
Any suggestions?

You could try, Keychain First Aid. (Apple-option-A)
Did you try, "Reset My Keychain" under Preferences, General?

I did key chain first aid but that didn't help the problem, so I reset keychain and now all is good. Thanks for your help
