I have forgotten my keychain password, and now I can't unlock the keychain.
Is there any way I can disable the lock or by-pass it?

You should be able to. I have done this in Mac OS 10, but don't have the
exact procedure memorized. Mac Help should detail the exact method. I have
never had to re-set the keychain password in OS 9, but if you are using this
OS, perhaps the Mac Help will be helpful there as well.

I think you can also bypass by booting from the system disk.
