    hey i recently changed my login password and i think i spelled it wrong or something so i couldn't log on so i logged in as another user and reset my password for my main account.
    Now everytime it tries to pullup a saved password through the "keychain" thing it asks me for my password and none of mine work. The old one, the new one, none of them.

    does anyone know how to reset that password?

    You have to rest the Keychain, there is no way to recover the password. To do that go to your home folder then library then keychains and delete you keychain. After a restart, it should create a new keychain with the proper login.
