1st time using fedora & I was trying to setup my email account password when KDE Wallet Service popped up & I mistyped my password by mistake. Now I don't know it. I noticed that several applications are prompting for a password from KDE Wallet. I never encountered KDE Wallet before. So for each time that KDE Wallet Service pops up, is it asking for the same password for each occurrence of the KDE Wallet pop-up, or a password that is unique to the app that caused KDE Wallet to pop-up in the first place?

And secondly, how do I reset it?

You can alternately go to the kwallet folder, delete it, (or save it as /kwallet2) and when you try to open a program that requires a login like wireless, it will ask you to set up a new wallet, choose a password ect.... It is found in ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet. I tried this on my laptop and it seems to work. You lose your saved passwords, but if you have lost the password for the wallet, they are gone anyway.

To my knowledge, change the password of KDE Wallet isn't possible.

To disable KDE Wallet:

open 'System Setting' => 'Account Details' => click on 'KDE Wallet'
verify that 'Enable the KDE Wallet subsystem' is unchecked.
when it was checked before => click on 'Apply' (right underneath)

To remove kde-wallet (drastically):

sudo  rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/
