I forgot the password for the keytool.  If I uninstall and reinstall
the JDK will the password be reset?

thanks,

Pardon, to my knowledge there's only one keytool command with regards
to java:

<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/keytool.html>

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>keytool -genkey -alias thufir9
Enter keystore password:
keytool error: java.lang.NullPointerException

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\

C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users>dir

The page from Sun suggests:

"Each keytool command has a -keystore option for specifying the name
and location of the persistent keystore file for the keystore managed
by keytool. The keystore is by default stored in a file named .keystore
in the user's home directory, as determined by the user.home system
property. "

But I can't find such a directory as suggested by the page :(
