Use your login password. I assume you have used autologin.

Open the seahorse utility and clear up the passwords.

In terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) write:

    seahorse

at the opened window go to first tab and right click , then click on "Change Password" and leave it BLANK.

but the sea horse gave me a window with a green plus icon on the top left, when i press it it gives me a list
"
Password Keyring

Ubuntu Software Center uses the Single Sign On to login there (and be able to leave Recommendations - Comments ..etc).

You can remove (purge) software-center and re-install it , to see if this fixed.

Can you login to Ubuntu Software Center or not ?

"NikTh" thank you very much for helping, my problem had been solved using the following steps.

deleting all the keyring passwords using the command

rm ~/.local/keyrings/login.keyring

and when i pressed login in the software center it asked me for a new keyring password, i had entered it and then it logged in.

Many thanks for your followup with me.

But I think this is the same as I told you in second answer #2 (seahorse). Maybe you had to search in other tabs of seahorse..

Either way , Good to know that you solved it.
