I lost the password for the Keystore android file

Question

I have Keystore for an Android app. But for some reason, the password is inappropriate or lost. Is there a way to recover this password that was set when creating KeyStore.

Answer 1

There are 3 ways to recover the password of a lost key store:

• If you do not have journal entries, you can find the password in the Android Studio log files: select ~ / Library / Logs → AndroidStudio -> idea.log.1 and search for “Pandroid.injected.signing.key.password” and you can see the password key.

• You can get the password from the .gradle directory. Take a look at .gradle \ 2.4 \ taskArtifacts \ taskArtifacts.bin. This does not seem to work for newer versions of Gradle (2.10 and higher).

• Use AndroidKeystoreBrute to guess or roughly use your password according to OddAbhi's answer above.
