i have tried all the methods tried out by the people who claimed they had got to connect to internet through the one i m using
but that still doesnt work for me

Usually the usb modems have a Microsoft Windows software for, first configuring the modem, secondly to access the Internet.So, maybe you should borrow a laptop with Windows in order use the Windows software whcich will configure the modem, and then use a ndis trick in order to use the Windows driver inside a Linux Machine.You know what ? These kind of funny things are one of the reasons why people will not easily switch to Linux, so many things are manufactured to be used with Microsoft Windows!

The ndis trick is exactly that : use a Windows driver and add it as to Linux for use with a physical device.
However doing it is not always obvious, because you sometimes have to edit the drivers description, so you should find somewhere a ready-made description for the way of using the ndis wrapper for your precise device.
And of course this probably supposes that your device has already been configured for your internet account (internet user and password for instance) which is usually done by a windows program, so maybe you will have to use "wine" in order to start that windows program inside your Linux machine.

about keyring password, you have to enter password you've provided during the installation, probably your root password. you can also try this mays :
