It is afaik from your question your "sudo" password is your keyring pass. A assume you login automagically?

I had that same issue with evolution after changing my password. That prompt appears when evolution is started, and the password it expects is the old one, the one i changed from. Don't know why this happens... but if you happen to have changed your password you might try using the old one.

to fix it - just delete /home/YOUR NAME/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring

gnome/network manager will recreate the default.keyring with correct permisssions next time you connect
