Do the following:

Hit command-shift-G and type ~/Library and hit go. Open the Keychains folder there and delete its contents.
Hit command-shift-G again and this time type just /Library and find Keychains again, and again delete its contents. This time you should be prompted for admin password. Restart your computer and problem should be fixed. If you see a pop up again click create new keychain and you should be good. Don't forget to empty trash after the reboot.

It sent a code to my phone so I was able to change the password.
