If you do it this way then you also need to delete the keychain for the user 
that you reset the password for. Thus you must create a new keychain.

From the Apple support website:

"If you change your account's password using your Mac OS X Install disc (or if 
your network-based account password is changed due to a network admin forcing 
a password change), your default keychain password (which uses the same 
initial password as your user account) does not change. "

The beauty of Apple and Linux. Many paths to the same goal
