Here is the error message: http://i41.tinypic.com/2zz71bp.png
Wireless Network Authentication Required Unlock Keyring: The application 'NetworkManager Applet' (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked.
The funny thing is, (a) I've never seen this message before (in a year of using CentOS) (b) I am the system administrator but it won't take the root password (c) I don't even know 'what' a default keyring is in the first place (d) This only happened after I changed the SSID of my home network
When I tried to connect to my home network with the new SSID, this message came up. Funny thing is that I never got past it, since it seems to want a password that isn't my user password nor my root password.
I still connected to the network though. So, it's odd all around. In fact, it makes no sense to me.
Q1: What password is it looking for anyway? (it's not root or the user) Q2: Why did it let me connect to the home network Note: If you get this, I am on the network even without typing whatever password that application seems to want.
keyring is place where passwords can be stored safely, without it saves password(s) in plaintext ..

You need to set the gnome keyring password to be the same as your username's login password.
You can either (a) install seahorse and change the password, or (b) delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring and re-create it.
Option (a) is probably the best one.
