Hello, I changed my user password and after a period i realize that the keyring password is the same password of the user ( i forgot old password ) So i try to delete login keyring [rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring] didn't work i guess because of new gnome version. so how i can reset the keyring password ?
Remove file login.keyring from ~/.local/share/keyrings/ location
$ cp ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring /tmp/. # Create backup
$ rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
I recommend you install/use seahorse, and then manage your keyring from there.
If not installed:
sudo yum install seahorse
Then execute or launch seahorse
Seahorse - Gnome front end for GnuPG - the Gnu Privacy Guard program.
seahorse seems only to work if you remember your keyring manager.

@Ismail Sensei, the keyrings folder is ~/.local/share/keyrings/ instead of ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ ->
rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyringjust in case make a backup first of this file.
