retrieve keystore password from SDK

Is there a way I can get my keystore password that I saved in the SDK?
Corona remembers my password but I don't :(

I assume it's saved in the registry or somewhere in the SDK directory ?

Thanks,
Don

On mac it's in the key chain app.

Thanks Angelo, unfortunately, I'm looking for my android build keystore password which was done under Windows.

I guess that Josh would know... I think you're right, I would check the registry. I'm sure it's saved as plain text somewhere.

From what I've read, if you lose your keystore password you have to use a Brute Force method in order to obtain it. Hopefully if your password is less than 8 characters it should be pretty easy to crack. Check out this Java class someone wrote that you could run via the command line to crack the keystore password:

Hope this helps and good luck.

I'm pretty sure corona stores it for you somewhere, I know it does on mac. Make sure you backup your keystore though.

I can make the android build with my keystore because Corona has the password remembered -- but, when I try to do a 'new' build in a different directory with the same keystore, it wants the password ...

I see the registry structure is for each folder where a project has been made -- in there, is some binary data under the name 'Marker' ... maybe that's it ? but I can't read it.

I can build but, would really like to know the password... maybe I should just backup the registry :)

Thanks for your help.
