I am on Ubuntu and I have forgotten the password for my Gnome Keyring (yes, stupid me, I know). Any way I can get it back? I have already looked at this link, but it says it's not possible if my home directory is encrypted and unfortunately my home directory is encrypted.
Resetting everything (delete all passwords and start new keyring):
rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
Then, log out and log back in. Ubuntu will automatically create a new login.keyring for you.
Or
Navigate to Places > Home. Press Ctrl + H to view "hidden files". Navigate to .local > share > keyrings and delete login.keyring
Using the same keyring (resetting keyring password but keeping old passwords in keyring):
Make a backup of the keyring
cd ~/.local/share/keyrings/
cp login.keyring login.keyring.backup
and after that delete login.keyring file
rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
Create a new keyring file from Gnome Keyring with the name login
Replace the new keyring file with the backup of the old keyring file
cd ~/.local/share/keyrings/
mv login.keyring.backup login.keyring
Note: before Ubuntu 12.10 the path to the keyrings folder was ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ instead of ~/.local/share/keyrings/.
