[SOLVED] How do I get the password to upload keystore file (keystore password incorrect)

How do I get the password to upload keystore file (keystore password incorrect)

I have an issue where the previous developer isn't totally cooperative. As he refused to share the keystore file password and he claims the password is in the file. when I checked the gradle.properties file the password was there but when i try to assemblebuild release (aab file).

I get incorrect password error,

Am Open to any suggestions.

Thanks

Upload keys are just for uploading the app to Google. You can at any time create a new upload key and register it in the used Google developer account used to publish the app.

If you are unable to sign your app because you have forgotten your key password or lost the keystore file then your only option is to reset your upload key.
