This is not invalid.  Upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, I received the same
problem.  As far as I am aware, I never used the keyring under 8.04.
Thus, I do not have any passwords in my keyring that I care about, and
can use the destructive fix listed here.  However, it is worth noting
that I did not forget any passwords.  I have a limited set of passwords
to draw from, and none of those work.  Whatever the password of my
keyring is, it is in no way associated with my current or former
credentials.

Being forced to do "rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings" before I can use the new
10.04 chat client seems like a bit of a hack.  If this is going to
happen to everyone, or perhaps everyone that never used keyring?, that
directory should be wiped by default on upgrade.
