In a world of having at least 10 different passwords to remember, you gmail password, your hotmail password, you school/work password, your yahoo password, your random passwords, your friends passwords, etc. Suddenly, Gnome Keyring decides to have an uneasily changeable password.
Why do we need a gnome keyring password? I do not get it. Gnome is based on simplicity, ease of use, clarity and all of those very nice high values. Suddenly, Gnome Keyring pops up with "Please enter keyring password"
What if I no longer remember that old password. What if I decided to give my laptop to a friend and changed my password to some easy one they can remember. Well, guess what, they can't access the Internet, because the keyring password is a different story.
Here is how to change your password on ubuntu 9.04
rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring
On earlier versions of ubuntu, follow this http://mexpolk.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/ubuntu-change-default-keyring-password/
