hi everybody,
every time when I want to check my emails with evolution,
than 1. it asks me the normal password that I entered, and 2. it asks me for the default
keyring password, but i don't know that default keyring password.
what can I do and where can i make/change the keyring passwords?
please need your help.
danny :-)

Okay, I'll lay it out for you just so you'll stop making those false
assumptions and yes, I was not the original author but was hoping for an
answer to my problem.
A problem you never clearly stated. In the future perhaps you'll start
your own thread or explicity state what you have and have not done. My
assumptions are all that I have to go on, if you do not provide the
information then my imagination will do it for you. Glad you got it
working.

The keyring manager will not work, nor any other program that uses
the
keyrings, because it requires a password, which I don't have, for a
"default" keyring. This all started when I started using Network Manager to
connect via a wireless network and it started asking for a password so that
it could save the network key required to connect. Since I don't have they
keyring password it won't save the network key and now prompts for it, along
with the keyring password, every time you log into the system. Mind you,
this is not a critical problem but is a major nuisance since the network key
is a secured 25 digit hexidecimal number.
Now, my options appear to be to change a setting unknown to me, delete the
files and recreate them or find some utility to "fix" the files. Granted, I
am not against having to use some kind of option to re-install the software
and overwrite the configuration files since nothing has been permanently
saved.

Delete everything in the keyrings directory, log out, then log in again
and it will prompt you to create a password for the new keyring when needed.

You can take offense if you like, if you have the keyring manager
installed, it is a simple matter to delete the keyrings, if you have
even bothered to try, but it doesn't sound like it. Editing corrupted
files by hand, assuming they will even open is not likely to work,
IMHO. However google may enlighten you like it did me as to their
location if you take the time to use it that is. In addition you are
not the author of the original post as near as I can tell.

Your response was rude and very presuming and I take offense to it.
Here is why I need to know where the files are:
1) I am the sole administrator for both machines that I have.
2) I am the sole person who set them up and configured them but never set
up any "keyring" passwords.
3) The system started prompting me for the default keyring password, which
was never set up, to save the network key for a wireless connection.
4) No password ever used on the system works for the so-called "default
keyring password".
5) As such, I believe that the keyring file is corrupted and needs to be
deleted and recreated, which means I need to know where they are.

Your not paying attention. The original post asked where changes could
be made and I answered that question. Keyring manager is where a
legitimate user makes his/her changes. If your foolish enough to
forget all your passwords and depend on the keyring manager to
remember them all for you, well that's another issue all together. In
either case if evolution asks for the email password and you provide
it then it will work without needing to consult the keyring manager.

Your not paying attention. The original post asked where changes could
be made and I answered that question. Keyring manager is where a
legitimate user makes his/her changes. If your foolish enough to
forget all your passwords and depend on the keyring manager to
remember them all for you, well that's another issue all together. In
either case if evolution asks for the email password and you provide
it then it will work without needing to consult the keyring manager.
It sounds to me like someone is phishing.....

Make sure you have the keyring manager installed. It can be found
under System>Preferences>System>Keyring Manager(on F8) from here you
should be able to delete the keyring if you want . I had a similar
