A stolen Mac and Keychain Access really secure?
I am just wondering: what is going to happen when you use the Mac Os X install CD to boot, change the passwords, so you have a complete control over anyone else's system. With the new password you login and use the Keychain Access. Is it secure? Anyone with some experience?

This is one of the purposes of FileVault. As it stands, if you have a normal account set-up without a Master password and FileVault activated, anyone with physical access to your machine can easily access your account using the method you described - boot from Install CD, change the admin password and then access the admin's Keychain to see all their passwords.

If you boot from the install disc and reset a user's password, their Keychain password isn't changed at all. It remains as the original password.
