How can i see my debug.keystore password? I entered my password 3 or 4 month ago and now i don't remember.

If it is impossible, how can i create new debug.keystore?

Usually the debug.keystore password is just "android".

You can delete it and Eclipse will automatically generate a new one, as described here.

i tried your suggestion it gives me error; Enter keystore password: keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Alias <aliasname> does not exist java.lang.Exception: Alias <aliasname> does not exist at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.doPrintEntry(Unknown Source) at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.doCommands(Unknown Source) at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.run(Unknown Source) at sun.security.tools.KeyTool.main(Unknown Source) – Corporeal 17/9, 2012 at 9:45

The Default Configuration of debug.keystore file:

Keystore name: "debug.keystore"
Keystore password: "android"
Key alias: "androiddebugkey"
Key password: "android"
CN: "CN=Android Debug,O=Android,C=US"

Where is this file located?

For Windows users: C:\Users\[username]\.android\debug.keystore

For macOS users: ~/.android/debug.keystore

You can get the SHA1 by using the following command:

keytool -list -v -keystore "C:\Users\[username]\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Note: The above answer has just information of Android Studio's default configuration to access the debug.keystore (debug certificate). You can make a custom certificate if you want to use your own password or configuration.

Just FYI there is typo in Window path. You need the backslash after [username] C:\Users[username]\.android\debug.keystore – Parlormaid 22/1, 2021 at 18:44

If you are not certain that the password has been set before, try just empty password. It worked for me.

Again you can generate your google api key. Your .keystore file will be, In Eclipse, Windows -> preferences ->Android -> build ->default debug keystore path will be there. You just use that .keystore and generate your api key again by using this link:

Then you would need new oauth client id's. Easier to keep using the same keystore. – Dyedinthewool 28/4, 2015 at 19:34
