Re: [android-developers] Re: how to retreive existing keystore

Your best bet is to find the lost keystore.  It's a binary file, but it does contain some info in plain text, such as the name of the developer and the company as well as the name of the key itself.  Try greping for this data throughout your hard drives and archives.
