I just started using Ubuntu on a Parallel desktop off Mac OSx. I am hoping to use this platform to operate my astronomy hardware from my Mac instead of Windows.

The first issue I am encountering is that I am being told my Login Keyring Password "no longer matches" my login. I am confused - I provided a password as I was setting this up, and so I don't know what this is about and how I can fix it. Thanks for the help.

One solution is to run this command to reset your keyring password:

rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring

This is a really frustrating problem. Using the password "parallels" works to unlock it on Ubuntu 18.4 - I was having problems installing through pip.

See here for other cases: https://forum.parallels.com/threads/centos-fedora-mint-linux-login-keyring-issue-the-password-you-use-to-login-to-your-computer.343215/

Since I did not remember the old password, a solution for me was to remove the login.keyring file under ~/.local/share/keyrings/ on versions of Ubuntu >= 14, and in ~/.gnome2/ on previous versions.
