I have yet to understand why Kwallet does the things it does sometimes. It varies by distro, and sometimes you fix it by putting in your login password, sometimes by putting in no password, sometimes make a new wallet, sometimes wipe the database. It's pretty frustrating.
If you can't change the password on the original keychain, I don't think there's a way to recover anything stored in it.
That is what I feared. I tried both my login password and a blank password, and it refuses to open. I'll wait to see if anyone has previously found a way to magically open it again, but I will probably need to scrap my Signal database and relink my computer without the chat history. It's a bummer, but not a major issue for me.
