I rebooted my new 3900X and lost my login password. Used recovery mode to change to a new one. Now my keyring doesn't sync and the keyring password is also corrupted.
How do I set the keyring password to my login password (with out losing all my stored passwords)?

Do you see the files below in ~/.local/share/keyrings ?

mark@x40-linux:~/.local/share/keyrings$ ls -al
total 24
drwx------ 2 mark mark 4096 May 7 12:34 .
drwx------ 18 mark mark 4096 May 13 14:43 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mark mark 15 Jun 4 2018 default
-rw------- 1 mark mark 1214 May 7 12:34 Default_keyring.keyring
-rw------- 1 mark mark 328 Aug 25 2018 login.keyring
-rw------- 1 mark mark 207 Jun 4 2018 user.keystore

From this thread.

"You can delete the login.keyring and a new one will be created using the same password as your user login.
***This will delete any passwords you may have saved for websites or email apps."

It doesn't sound like there's a solution to your problem that I can find.
