Remove the keyring password in Debian

Posted . Visible to the public.

First find the location of the keyring.

find . -print | grep -i 'login.keyring'

Now delete the login.keyring file.

rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring

The file above can be on a different location in your case.

The next time when you want to save a password in a keyring it will ask you for a new password first.
Please be careful, all other passwords in the keyring are gone when using the above option. See link
for more possibilities.
