I've changed the password (with passwd) and restarted the session, it's the same.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry phone went weird. You can set the keyring password in the password application in Dash

Okay, i see.

In the Dash, the Password application is probably "Mots de passe et clés" in french Unity interface.
This finaly launch "seahorse", in which the Password entry doesn't appears any more !

Can you try to launch seahorse in a terminal to confirme we are speaking about the same application ?

Thank's for your help but i must leave now.

Hello,

Jean de la Fontaine said "Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera" "Help yourself and heaven will help you", so i've found the solution.

~/.gnome2/keyrings seems to no longer be used for keys storing.

~/.local/share/keyrings is the "new" place, and this directory, for an unexplained raison, was root property.

When reset to user property :
    chown user:group -R ~/.local/share/keyrings
the default keyring was correctly created and no longer password asked.

Thank's.

You probably ran a GUI application with sudo.
