The first time the keyring is ever used by an application, GNOME asks 
you to set a keyring password. Perhaps you did this without realizing 
it? If you can't guess the password, perhaps 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-keyring/+bug/54792 will point you 
towards a tool that can change the password. Failing that, you can 
delete the contents of ~/.gnome2/keyrings
