How to reset KWallet password

February 18, 2011 by Igor Drobot 3 Comments

The problem: you start a typical KDE application like Kmail and it requires your kwallet master password.

You forgot it?! – No problem!
The solution is very easy: To reset your KWallet password, delete the kwalllet PW-database.

1
rm ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/kdewallet.kwl

rm ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/kdewallet.kwl

    Bangarang, zeldor! Thanks for posting this quick fix!!! BTW, for Mint 19 the path starts with .local, not .kde…
