Your not paying attention. The original post asked where changes
could
be made and I answered that question. Keyring manager is where a
legitimate user makes his/her changes. If your foolish enough to
forget all your passwords and depend on the keyring manager to
remember them all for you, well that's another issue all
together. In
either case if evolution asks for the email password and you provide
it then it will work without needing to consult the keyring manager.
It sounds to me like someone is phishing.....

Your response was rude and very presuming and I take offense to it.
Here is why I need to know where the files are:
1) I am the sole administrator for both machines that I have.
2) I am the sole person who set them up and configured them but
never set
up any "keyring" passwords.
3) The system started prompting me for the default keyring
password, which
was never set up, to save the network key for a wireless connection.
4) No password ever used on the system works for the so-called
"default
keyring password".
5) As such, I believe that the keyring file is corrupted and
needs to be
deleted and recreated, which means I need to know where they are.
You can take offense if you like, if you have the keyring manager
installed, it is a simple matter to delete the keyrings, if you have
even bothered to try, but it doesn't sound like it. Editing corrupted
files by hand, assuming they will even open is not likely to work,
IMHO. However google may enlighten you like it did me as to their
location if you take the time to use it that is. In addition you are
not the author of the original post as near as I can tell.

(I'm going to ignore any further personal attacks)
Okay, I'll lay it out for you just so you'll stop making those false
assumptions and yes, I was not the original author but was hoping
for an answer to my problem.
The keyring manager will not work, nor any other program that uses
the keyrings, because it requires a password, which I don't have,
for a "default" keyring. This all started when I started using
Network Manager to connect via a wireless network and it started
asking for a password so that it could save the network key required
to connect. Since I don't have they keyring password it won't save
the network key and now prompts for it, along with the keyring
password, every time you log into the system. Mind you, this is not
a critical problem but is a major nuisance since the network key is
a secured 25 digit hexidecimal number.
Now, my options appear to be to change a setting unknown to me,
delete the files and recreate them or find some utility to "fix" the
files. Granted, I am not against having to use some kind of option
to re-install the software and overwrite the configuration files
since nothing has been permanently saved.

Okay, children. Tame it down or you both get a time out!
Delete /home/YOUR NAME/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
Gnome/network manager will recreate the default.keyring with correct
permisssions next time you connect. Enter the same password as you
login password and I believe it will not prompt you in the future.
The directory "keyrings" & file "default.keyring" you mentioned does
not exist!
Bradley
HOORAY!!! It now works!
I did a locate on a directory called "keyrings" and discovered it in a
directory with a similar name. After deleting it, the problem no longer
exists.
Thank you everyone for your help.
