Gnome’s Keyring – Remove Password File

source: http://essayboard.com/2009/06/24/gnomes-keyring-tip-how-to-disable-keyring-or-remove-password-file/

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?
“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.
