Is there any api or solution available to get keystore password – Aman Systematix Oct 24 '16 at 06:56

1Your situation is less hopeless than if you'd lost they keystore itself. You just need to guess your own password. – Kevin Krumwiede Oct 24 '16 at 06:58

Sorry, the answer is there's absolutely no way to update your app with your keystore without the password.
You have to unlist your app and build with a new keystore, list a new one. Users will not see the updated app because the listing is now pointing at a different entry.
Please keep your keystore file like your life.

Yes, from the developers site: "Your private key is required for signing all future versions of your app. If you lose or misplace your key, you will not be able to publish updates to your existing app. You cannot regenerate a previously generated key." https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing.html – jos Oct 24 '16 at 07:09
