Constantly being asked for unknown password

Question

I'm using Xubuntu. Whenever I log in, and periodically when I'm using the computer, I'll be asked to enter my password to access the keyring. The problem is that I don't remember ever setting this password. I've tried all my common passwords and none seem to work. So, is there anyway to either a) disable this from happening - so that I won't be asked to enter the password that's unknown to me or b) reset the keyring password to something that I actually know? Thanks!

I think the answer should be the same to the problem like this in ubuntu.

Here is the link How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot?

Hope this helps. Please vote if it helps:)

You should be able to use the password for the keyring you set for your user account at install. The password you use to log in to your account if you had auto login off.

Подобную проблему я решил почти 5 лет назад, вот запись с картинками в моем блоге: Пароль для связки ключей

I solved this problem about 5 years ago, the link points to my blog post (in Russian) with explanations.
