What started using a keyring?

[Pritam Baral]

The password is most likely your first Ubuntu password when you installed
Ubuntu. It get's set when a user account is created. It can be changed
graphically. Or, if you don't remember the password, the keyring can be
deleted too.. Just make sure you create a new keyring and set it as
default, some apps (Google Chrome/Chromium) use the keyring to store their
passwords..

I think the GUI app that let's you do this is called "Passwords &
Encryption Keys". Look for it.
