I was doing something -- new network config, I think -- and got a dialog box asking for "Keyring Access" credentials. In a memory lapse, I entered the root password instead of the current user password. Now I have this login and password messy dance to go through very often. On accounts where I have not made this mistake, it seems that the keyring gets is details from the current login session and I don't get frequent nagging for keyring access credentials.

How do I un-set or reset the Keyring Access details so that I can use the correct password [aka, "current user"] instead of the root password?

In follow-up, your answer is GNOME oriented. Can you confirm-deny that there is something similar for KDE?

In addition, I did not see where I set the password that unlocks my access
to the keyring as a whole.

If you want you can change the keyring password clicking on it with the rmb and choosing "change password". Does it help?
