Any way to change the Gnome Keyring password?


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I'm looking for a way to change the master password of the Gnome Keyring. I know the current password, but, I'd like to change it to a new one, and I haven't been able to find anything conclusive on the topic. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

I'd post system details, but, honestly, they aren't important.

I think that at the moment, you will have to kill the daemon (killall gnome-keyring-daemon) and delete your keyrings (~/.gnome2/keyrings), then start over. There is no mechanism to change the password.
