I've seen this happen before when I've changed my user's password using the Change Password option on the About Me applet. The keyring password is the same as your user's login password normally (I think that's what you mean by admin password, the login password you enter to administer your machine). There's a bug in that Change Password screen, where it updates the login password but not the keyring password. If you open a terminal and use "passwd" to change your password, that correctly keeps the 2 in sync. It's been reported and was marked as a papercut at one point, but IIRC there's too much work involved to fix it and no one has actually done the fix. If you have changed your password, you can get them back in sync like this: 1. log in as normal 2. Open the "Passwords and Encryption Keys" application 3. Right click the "login" option and choose Change Password. Enter your old login password followed by your new password twice. Of course, that only works if you can remember your old password. If you can't I think you have to delete the "login" entry and create a new keyring, but I have never done this so I'd search Google for some help. > > At the moment it won't even let me send email, even though I know the > server passwords! > TIA > Dianne > You know them, but the email program can't access them! If you unlock or delete the old entry, a new one should give the email program its memory back...

[ubuntu-uk] Keyring password error
I have 10.10 Ubuntu. Used my machine with no problems this morning. Just switched back on and logged on to my account OK. But I get a message that my login password and my keyring password don't match, and to enter the password. Are the admin password and keyring password usually the same? And what can I have done to change the keyring password? Updates yesterday included linux headers, and today I think was only Chrome. Password and Encryption shows only one password, and that's login - but it's blank, including date created. I can't reset - I don't know what the "old" password is set to, as it says it isn't my admin password. I did have three apport warnings this morning, one for a game that I wasn't running, and two for apport itself.
