[Luis]

Is it possible to reset the password for the default keyring in Gnome (Edgy).

 Any way to change the Gnome Keyring password?
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 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.

Of course, you could simply fired gnome-keyring-manager to delete the
default keyring if you wanted to start over.

The question is, can this be implemented? How would one go about
implementing this? Perhaps (note that I have not read the source code
for this yet):

1. create new keyring with new password called "default-tmp"
2. programatically copy all keys from default to default-tmp
3. delete and rename keyrings

Is there a better algorithm? Perhaps there is a way to simply change
the keyring password without going through all this trouble.
