keyring is a file that stores all sorts of (for example wifi) passwords encrypted
Gnome2 based MATE per default creates keyring here:
~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
so if the keyring password is lost, only a new keyring can be created.
rm -rf ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring su - root apt update apt install seahorse Ctrl+D # log off root become default non-root user again seahorse; # start seahorse
