Some people complain how Gnome’s Keyring keeps asking them for password whenever they try to get connect to wireless router. Here is a trick of how to stop Keyring from bothering you for good. Go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications, disable the check box “Gnome Keyring Daemon.” That’s it, everything should go as plan if you done this correctly! I tested this trick on Fedora Core 11 and Ubuntu 9.04, both Linux distribution work fine with this trick.
How to reset Keyring’s password if you forgot it? Go to .gnome2/keyrings/ directory by type this little command inside your shell/terminal – “cd ~/.gnome2/keyrings/“ (without the double quotes), then you have to delete login.keyring or any other file that has unwanted Keyring’s encrypted passwords that you want to get rid of. Use command “rm filename” to delete a file in any Linux distribution! The next time you use something on your Gnome Desktop that requires Keyring’s password, you just have to enter a brand new password twice to reset your old password (you already delete your old password) — you only have to do this once unless you want to reset your Keyring’s password again.
