Hi - I need to sign some jar files using an existing keystore, however,
i don't know the password to the keystore.

The keystore was created years ago and no one knows the password.

Is there any way to find out the password or any alternative solutions?

Thanks,
Stefan

That is bad.

Bad as well.

I don't think so, the password for the signing is needed, because
anybody gets the keystore could sign anything with you keystore.

Looks like you have to create a new key.
