The gnome keyring is a secure storage of various passphrases that you
may use during your session. It typically has one password to unlock
the key, and then other passphrases can be fetched from the keyring for
various applications. Quite often, the keyring has the same password as
your login password, but this isn't required (nor should it be
encouraged).
Now, if you've forgotten your gnome keyring password, that's going to be
fun to recover. The easiest thing to do is remove the existing keyring
so that upon next session you get the opportunity to create a new
keyring (and this time set it to a password you remember). To do this,
remove the files in .gnome2/keyrings/ and log back into gnome.
