Reset Keyring Password

webmanoffesto · 04-15-2011, 11:55 PM

I'm brand new to Linux. I installed Ubuntu with WUBI installer but then forgot my password. I reset that. But now I need a password for my KeyRing (because of my Wireless password?). In order to reset that I need to know the previous password. But I don't remember that.

What do you suggest I do?

downloaed the gaim rpm and did a
rpm -Uhv gaim-1.5.0-67.i586.rpm

Does that seem like the best solution to you, despite its age?

Try deleting the directory ~/.gnome2/keyrings
From the command line it is rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings
Logout, login again.

That seems to have resolved the problem. Thanks.
