i had this problem once before, but can't remember where i found the solution. when booting up i get a pop up--keyring locked, but the keyboard is also locked. the solution is simple, i remember that much. I'm directly connected, so i haven't setup wireless yet. I'm using mint 9 64 bit.
thanks in advance.

Re: locked keyring with locked keyboard
I found this regarding the locked keyring
For a locked keyboard I found a solution here, this gently/safely restarts the computer.Was able to resolve by going into my home ./gnome2/keyrings folder and deleting the files.
There is a post elsewhere that describes what each key does, but it definately works OK - even when the keyboard doesn't seem to respond.
Re: locked keyring with locked keyboard
thanks for the quick response, but it didn't work, my keyboard is still locked. like i said, i had the problem before, but can't remember what i did to fix it. i really need to write things down.
