Rather a long time ago, I installed Kubuntu through wubi on my wife's computer. After that she has done nothing with it. So today, I decided to play around with the installation, but realised that I have forgotten the password I set for Kdewallet. How do I change the password, without knowing the current one?

I think the technical term for your situation is "You're so screwed!". In other words, you can't. -
Re: Forgot Kdewallet password
You are not screwed. What a shocking idea
Simply delete the file(s) in ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/

Re: Forgot Kdewallet password
Uhm...how do I do this. I tried finding the folders in Kate, but no luck. I gather the .kde folder is hidden, how do I give Kate su-permission to find and edit the folder? Or is there something else that needs to be done?

Re: Forgot Kdewallet password
You don't need to - the folder and it's single content are in your home folder.
In Konqueror navigate to your home folder. Click on View > Show Hidden Files or just press Alt+. (the Alt key and the period key). Then just navigate to the .kde/share/apps/kwallet folder.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

Ah, sorry, I thought he wanted to change the password so that he could access the passwords in the wallet. If that was the case, then he would be screwed (or the waller would be very screwed up, security wise).You are not screwed.

Re: Forgot Kdewallet password
>> True, but luckily the only password in the wallet was the network-code for my wireless network, and that is easily retrievable... :-) It worked like a charm, by the way.Originally posted by toadComment
