If you said "system policy", it should be your root password. But you
said that root doesn't work.

So I guess, do you mean the "Keyring"? If it requests a keyring, that
means that you used to set a keyring to remember many passwords in your
system. If you forget it, you can try to totally delete your account,
and create a new account.
