MobileMe prompted me that I needed to input a password for the computer this keychain was stored on. Unfortunately, it didn’t list a computer that the password was for, and none of my passwords worked. Eventually, I found this mailing list entry which had this command, and solved my issue.</p> <p>Upon entering the command in your Terminal, hit cancel on the popup.
