It did this once by deleting the keyring. It asked me for a password 
again next time I logged in and I gave it the new password. Here's how I 
did this:
1. Delete  the directory ~/.gnome2/keyrings
2. Logout of gnome session (or any other session)
3. Delete .gconf* files/directories from /tmp. I just deleted everything 
I owned in tmp (note that you need to delete the hidden directories as 
well).

Next time you login, you will be asked for the keyring passphrase again 
when it is needed.
