Have you forgotten the gnome-keyring which you entered a couple of days back; or do you want to permanently disable the gnome-kerying. Find below, how-to change/disable a gnome-keyring.

Solution 1: Open terminal and enter the following path /home/~/.gnome2/keyrings/ and erase default.keyring inside the folder and save the file. No more pop-up will appear asking for keyring password.

Solution 2: In Ubuntu, follow the following steps to chanage/delete the keyring password:

*Go to Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys which opens the keyring manager
*Go to Edit->Preferences
*On the Password Keyrings-tab select the "login"-keyring & click "Change Unlock Password"

Now enter the password of your keyring. If you wish to leave the new password fields empty, then do not enter anything in 'new password'.
