How to completely reset/erase the keyring?

Something happened to my keyring, I think chrome asked for a new password to create a new keyring and erased the old one, but now the process repeats. I save a few passwords and then it resets it again.

How do I completely swipe/remove/erase the keyring, so that this problem stops?

Open ~/.gnome2/keyrings/, remove all the files there that end with .keyring.

Next time keyring shows up for any reason do not enter a password for it and verify that you want to use unsafe storage. Keyring will still save your passwords and will not ask you again for a password.

Another option is to disable keyring so the deamon does not run but then you wont have keyring saving your passwords for you common programs.
