MacOS change keychain password

In the MacOS system, the keychain password has to match the user password in order to use keychain appropriately. In my case, they have to match in order to allow Apple Watch to unlock the Mac.

The official way to change the keychain password can be found HERE. However, in my case, the "Change password for keychain login" option is in gray and can not be selected. One solution is the following:

Open terminal and type in

security set-keychain-password

Then, type in old password and then new password. The password is then changed. This does not require admin access.
