Ah, thanks for the clarification!

So:
- have you ever experienced this bug with users-admin?
- have you ever been able to change your password successfully using gnome-about-me?
- have you installed special password or PAM packages such as pam-cracklib?
- is the fact that you change the password many times in the same session really a factor of the bug?

Please ensure you are always using the same sequence of passwords when changing them, since there can be differences depending on the order you type them (e.g. two similar passwords will lead 'passwd' to act differently, which can explain the hang).

(The gnome-keyring bug can be fixed by running Applications->Accessories->Keyrings and Encryption Keys, and changing the password for the problematic keyring.)
