Hi Myrosia,
I had a similar problem once. To fix I did the following:
Exit Kwallet. Renamed ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet to ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet-old Rename ~/.kde4/share/config/kwalltrc to ~/.kde4/share/config/kwalltrc-old Rename ~/.kde4/share/config/kwalltmanagerrc to ~/.kde4/share/config/kwalltmanagerrc to~/.kde4/share/config/kwalltmanagerrc- old
Restart Kwallet and set up the initial password. Now open the Wallet manager from the system tray, enter the newly created wallet and select File/ Merge Wallet and navigate the the saved wallet in ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet-old to get all your saved passwords back.
Now relaunch Kontact and all should be OK. If so the backup files are no longer needed and can be deleted.
If it does not work then try logging out of your KDE session after completing the rename steps above, before relaunching Kwallet.
HTH
Kind regards Dave
Thanks. I did all that (including logging out of KDE session), but it did not work. Still the same symptoms. I was surprised, though, that on the new wallet setup a generically named application requested access to it: KDE daemon. This was before I was asked, or tried to save, any passwords. I hope it was just my network plasmoid, but it was strange because I actually had to go into the plasmoid setup to get the password changed, it did not ask me ahead of time.
