Ubuntu: keyring password won't change with user password

Updated . Posted . Visible to the public.

Ubuntu might create several keyrings for you. Note that keyring passwords are initially set to the user password but do not change with it. If you can't seem to find the correct password for a keyring, try entering the inital password.

If you still can't find it, you might have to delete that keyring:

  • open "Passwords and Keys" (seahorse application)
  • right-click on the keyring you want to change
  • press Delete
