Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I tend to use the
"seahorse" package to manage GPG keys, gnome-keyring, etc.  To
install:

su -c 'yum install seahorse'

Then run it from the menu, using Applications > Accessories >
Passwords and Encryption Keys.

Select the "login" keyring, and you can reset the passphrase for that
keyring.  That's the keyring that gnome-keyring uses by default to
store things like NetworkManager secrets and so forth.
