I can't answer your direct question, but it will speed up your process of finding a password if you save it as a "generic" key, of which there aren't many, and then get it this way:
to getPassw()
tell application "Keychain Scripting"
launch
tell current keychain to ¬
tell (some generic key whose name is "ASPW")
return password
end tell
end tell
end getPassw
Otherwise, the whole chain is seached. Your problem may have the same roots - perhaps you have to specify what kind of password it is.

fine:

tell keychain 1
unlock
set theKey to (first key whose name is "Some Key")
set password of (first key of keychain 1 whose name is "HST
VPN") to "SomePassword"
end tell
end tell
However, the following does not work:
tell application "Keychain Scripting"
tell keychain 1
unlock
set theKey to (first key whose name is "Some Key")
set thePassword to text returned of (display dialog "Enter new
password" default answer "" with hidden answer)
set password of (first key of keychain 1 whose name is "HST
VPN") to (thePassword as string)
end tell
end tell
It gives an error at the "set password" line. I've tried casting the
entered password to "Unicode text", to "International text" and to
"string", as well as not casting. Nothing seems to work. Has anyone
gotten this type of thing to work?
