I forgot my APK password, is there any solution to recover it??

if not what could be the option?   I was trying to upload my first app to the google play store and I found out
that I need to "sign my application in release mode", so I tried to build it again but I forgot the password.

....I wouldn't be mind if I have to buy the plugin again but I don't now how to remove it an reinstall it or what could be the
best way to solve this problem.

please if sombody know how to fix this please let me know  THANKS....

There is no way to recover a forgotten password.

However, if you have never successfully uploaded an APK to Google play, it is not too late to start again.

In /sdcard/DroidScript/APKs there is a file called user.keystore

Use your file manager to delete that file.

You will then be able to build an APK as if you had never created one before.

HOWEVER, please note that once you have uploaded an APK, you will only be able to use the same keystore again.

So read the warning that comes up when you create your first release-mode APK. Back up your keystore and remember the password. THIS IS VITAL.
