Zoomers -- Try to force create local user's Keychains folder
# Open Terminal.app up. Enter these commands in there.
# For sudo commands, enter your current mac user admin password and press enter. No text will show up as you enter it.
# Verify there's nothing that comes up. It should say "No such file or directory" both times
ls -la ~/Library/Keychains
sudo ls -la ~/Library/Keychains
# Try to force create the folder and give it usual permissions
sudo mkdir ~/Library/Keychains
sudo chown -R `whoami`:staff ~/Library/Keychains
# Note for later: this should be 700 or 710, no? Whatever for now.
chmod 711 ~/Library/Keychains
# At this point, restarting probably makes sense. Then opening Terminal.app again
# Do the first ls -la commanda gain to make sure the Keychains folder is still there
# Open Keychain Access.app and try to reset keychain again via Preferences
