But I am thinking that if it is so easy to access the password settings and modify them then what is the purpose of having them in the first place. Seems to some sort of a joke.

My guess is that we should have logged out & in first to recreate the keyring files, then we could safely change the user password. Now I'm going to be spending two hours tomorrow driving & repairing this from a liveCD...
