Go to and change your password there. 2. **Before** rebooting your Mac, you should change your keychain password to avoid any issues down the road. To do so, run the following command `security set-keychain-password "/Users/YOURHOME/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db"` 3. If you use FileVault, after the first reboot, first enter your old password, then the new one. Normally, FileVault will sync and update with your new password after you reboot.
