If so you can delete it and create a new keyring named login, or choose 'change password' and make sure it is the same password that you use to login [perhaps you changed your password]. Yourr /etc/pam.d/common-auth probably looks like - auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_fprint.so auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auth required pam_unix2.so The "pam_gnome_keyring" module initializes [or attempts to] the keyring manager with your login password. If something messes around in your PAM configuration that can screw up initialization of the keyring.
