The first time the keyring is ever used by an application, GNOME asks
you to set a keyring password. Perhaps you did this without realizing
it? If you can't guess the password, perhaps
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-keyring/+bug/54792 will point you
towards a tool that can change the password. Failing that, you can
delete the contents of ~/.gnome2/keyrings
