Android - Forgot keystore password. Can I decrypt keystore file? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I too had this similar problem!

There are a few ways to find the password :

1. Using the logs file of android studio
2. Using the taskArtifacts
3. Using bruteforce

Detailed answer is mentioned in http://techzog.com/development/android/retrieve-saved-keystore-password-android-studio/

If none of the above works, there's a way to reset the keystore password! The code is available here

1. Download the zip file here.

2. Install JAVA into your computer

3. Keep all the files(the keystore, extracted java files) in one folder

4. Open Command Prompt there. (Shift + RightClick -> Open command window here)

5. Run javac ChangePassword.java

6. Run java ChangePassword

   e.g. java ChangePassword oldkey.jks newkey.jks

7. Enter a password when asked. Remember the new password for the new jks file.

Open jks file using the new password
