Is it possible (and how!) to change the passphrase of an existing

can unlock the keyring if the passwords are identical, and I wanted to
start the new year with a frssh, secure new password.
However, I cannot find the option to change the passphrase anywhere in
gnome, gnome-keyring-manager, gconf etc (FC6 i386 system)

It did this once by deleting the keyring. It asked me for a password
again next time I logged in and I gave it the new password. Here's how I
did this:
1. Delete the directory ~/.gnome2/keyrings
2. Logout of gnome session (or any other session)
3. Delete .gconf* files/directories from /tmp. I just deleted everything
I owned in tmp (note that you need to delete the hidden directories as
well).
Next time you login, you will be asked for the keyring passphrase again
when it is needed.
