Copy my keystore file and get new password. It really works but how.

Let me guide you.

1. Install JAVA into your computer

2. Now open notepad or any code editor tool

3. Create one ChangePassword.java file 

4. Copy code of ChangePassword.java  from https://gist.github.com/zach-klippenstein/4631307

and same work for JKS.java

5. Now go to command prompt

6. Run JAVAC ChangePassword.java

(make sure you are in directory when you stored java file)

7.now enter this code in command line

java ChangePassword <keystore filename> <new keystore filename>

Make sure you have keystore file on your folder

This command will generate new file for Keystore so you can set new password and make sure you will remember the new password .

Now matter comes to Keystore Alias Password

You can’t reset alias password with the help of above java file because its encrypted.

For keystore alias password you can create new alias with same name

keytool -changealias -keystore my.keystore -alias my_name -destalias my_new_name

Now this will help you to create new alias and than you can upload it.
