Need password to access Entourage after Leopard install

[Rita Geiger]

I installed Leopard a week ago. When I turn on my computer and open
Entourage, I¹m asked to provide my password in order to retrieve messages.
I¹ve never had to do this before and since I¹m the sole operator of my
computer in my home I really don¹t need password protection. I¹ve gone to
Keychain Access in Utilities and marked ³Allow all applications to this
item² for my pop.central acc¹t. That did NOT solve my problem. I also ran
Repair Permissions but that didn¹t solve it either. Help! I don¹t want to
have to type my password every time I open Entourage.

I saw something about accounts losing their Admin status after upgrading to
Leopard. Sorry, I don¹t have a link on the fix. This could cause the
keychain to not work as expected.

This happened to me first time as well - it has to do with the keychain
being replaced.

If, in the dialog you were presented with, you checked 'add to keychain',
the new password should stick again, and this should be a once-only request
(it was for me).

If it doesn't stick, open the keychain and run 'keychain first aid' from the
'keychain access' menu. That should put any problems right.
